[PROPOSED] FINAL JUDGMENT
1
Following entry of this Court’s June 11, 2012 Order Granting Mediachase,
2
Ltd., Chris Lutz and Julie Magbojos’ Motion for: (1) Summary Judgment on
3
Plaintiff’s Complaint and Counterclaims; Mediachase’s Declaratory Relief Claims;
4
and (2) Partial Summary Judgment on Mediachase’s Copyright Infringement
5
Counterclaims (Dkt. No. 130) (the “Summary Judgment Order”), Plaintiff/
6
Counter-Defendant/Counterclaimant Alexandre Siniouguine (“Siniouguine”) and
7
Defendant/Counterclaimant/Counter-Defendant Mediachase, Ltd. and Defendants
8
Chris Lutz and Julie Magbojos (“Mediachase”) (collectively, the “Parties”) have
9
settled this action as set forth in the Settlement Agreement between the Parties, and
10
contingent upon Court’s entry of this Final Judgment, the Parties’ stipulated
11
Permanent Injunction and the Stipulation Re: Dismissal in the manner described
12
below. The Parties have waived findings of fact and conclusions of law with
13
respect thereto, and have waived their right to appeal from this Final Judgment.
14
The Parties have stipulated to entry of Judgment on the following terms, and the
15
Court hereby enters Judgment as follows:
16
1.
Judgment is entered in favor of Mediachase on all claims and
17
counterclaims by Siniouguine. As more fully described in the Summary Judgment
18
Order [Docket No. 130], the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference,
19
this Court has determined as a matter of law that Mediachase, not Siniouguine,
20
owns the copyrights in and to the eCommerce Framework Program, Copyright
21
Registration No. TX 0007329315 (“ECF Program”) and Calendar.NET Program,
22
Copyright Registration No. TX 0007396494 (“Calendar Program”) that are the
23
subjects of this action;
24
2.
Judgment is entered in favor of Mediachase, and against Siniouguine,
25
on Mediachase’s Counterclaims for (1) declaratory judgment of Mediachase’s
26
copyright ownership in the ECF Program; (2) declaratory judgment that
27
Siniouguine’s Copyright Registration for the ECF Program (TX 0007446342) is
28
invalid; (3) declaratory judgment of Mediachase’s copyright ownership in the

FINAL JUDGMENT
1
Calendar Program; and (4) declaratory judgment that Siniouguine’s Copyright
2
Registration for the Calendar Program (TX 0007412872) is invalid. As more fully
3
described in the Summary Judgment Order, this Court has determined that, because
4
Mediachase owns the copyrights in and to the ECF Program and the Calendar
5
Program at issue in this action, Siniouguine’s Copyright Registration Nos. TX
6
0007446342 and TX 0007412872 for these programs are invalid;
7

9
3.
The Court shall enter the Permanent Injunction which the Parties have
jointly requested that the Court enter:
4.
The Final Judgment, Permanent Injunction and Settlement Agreement
10
shall be enforceable against the Parties for any acts that violate the Final Judgment,
11
the Permanent Injunction and/or the Settlement Agreement, and the Court shall
12
retain jurisdiction to enforce them;
13
5.
While the Parties have executed a Stipulation for Entry of Monetary
14
Judgment in favor of Mediachase and against Siniouguine, Mediachase will not file
15
or otherwise apply to have such Monetary Judgment entered unless and until the
16
Court deteimines that Siniouguine violated the terms of the Permanent Injunction.
17
Mediachase must seek entry of the Monetary Judgment solely by regularly noticed
18
motion; however, nothing contained herein shall limit Mediachase’s right to move
19
for expedited relief in the form of a Temporary Restraining Order, Preliminary
20
Injunction or other extraordinary remedy, with or without notice, to enjoin any act
21
by Siniouguine. Additionally, nothing contained herein shall limit Siniouguine’s
22
right to object to the enforceability of the Monetary Judgment if Mediachase fails to
23
comply with the terms of the Settlement Agreement;
24
25
26
6.
The Court’s Summary Judgment Order, this Final Judgment and the
Permanent Injunction are binding and final, and are non-appealable;
7.
Siniouguine is hereby Ordered to destroy all copies of the ECF
27
Program, the Calendar Program, and any other Mediachase copyrighted works
28
existing as of June 28, 2012, to the extent he has not already done so;

the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
