Case 1:20-cv-10416-JPO Document 15 Filed 01/21/21 Page 6 of 22
On this day, the Court considered Plaintiff’s ex parte application for the following: 1) a
temporary restraining order; 2) an order restraining Merchant Storefronts and Defendants’ Assets
with the Financial Institutions; 3) an order to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not
issue; 4) an order authorizing bifurcated and alternative service and 5) an order authorizing
expedited discovery against Defendants, Third Party Service Providers and Financial Institutions
in light of Defendants’ intentional and willful offerings for sale and/or sales of Counterfeit
Products. 1 A complete list of Defendants is attached hereto as Schedule A, which also includes links
to Defendants’ Merchant Storefronts and Infringing Listings. Having reviewed the Application,
Declarations of Morten Serup and Jason M. Drangel, along with exhibits attached thereto and other
evidence submitted in support thereof, the Court makes the following findings of fact and
conclusions of law:
FACTUAL FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1.
Bang & Olufsen, launched in 1925, is a high-end luxury Danish consumer
electronics company that designs audio products and television sets, which are distributed through
various channels of trade in the United States and abroad.
2.
The most popular and successful B&O Products are the BEOPLAY wireless
earbuds, BEOPLAY and BEOSOUND portable speakers and BEOPLAY headphones. The
BEOPLAY wireless earbuds couple iconic design aesthetics with anodized aluminum, and feature
two built-in microphones on either side, with optimized passive noise cancelling for a top-notch
sound experience. The BEOPLAY wireless earbuds are easy to pocket with the slim case design and
have grooves on the earphones to improve the grip. The BEOPLAY headphones feature two
customized titanium drivers and Bang & Olufsen's proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) engine

Where a defined term is referenced herein and not defined herein, the defined term should be understood as it is
defined in the Glossary.

Case 1:20-cv-10416-JPO Document 15 Filed 01/21/21 Page 7 of 22
and provide an unrivaled wireless listening experience.
3.
The B&O Products are sold mainly by an extensive, independent retail network
across more than 100 countries and some major U.S. retailers, such as Amazon, Best Buy and Neiman
Marcus.
4.
While Bang & Olufsen has gained significant common law trademark and other
rights in its B&O Marks and B&O Products through use, advertising and promotion, Bang & Olufsen
also protected its valuable rights by filing for and obtaining federal trademark registrations.
5.
For example, Bang & Olufsen owns the following U.S. Trademark Registration Nos.:
U.S. Trademark Registration Nos.: 3,106,984 for “
35, 37, 41 and 42; 1,007,565 for “
” for a variety of goods in Classes 9, 20,
” for a variety of goods in Classes 7, 9, 11, 12 and 15;
3,063,786 for “BANG & OLUFSEN” for a variety of goods in Classes 9, 20, 35, 37, 41 and 42;
1,006,022 for “BANG & OLUFSEN” for a variety of goods in Class 9; and 4,489,925 for
“BEOPLAY” for a variety of goods in Classes 9, 20, 35, 36 and 38; and
2,340,801 for
“BEOSOUND” for a variety of goods in Class 9.
6.
Defendants are manufacturing, importing, exporting, advertising, marketing,
promoting, distributing, displaying, offering for sale or Counterfeit Product through Defendants’
User Accounts and Merchant Storefronts with Wish (see Schedule A for links to Defendants’
Merchant Storefronts and Infringing Listings);
7.
Wish.com, a San Francisco, California-based, online marketplace and e-commerce
platform owned by ContextLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, that allows manufacturers and
other third-party merchants, like Defendants, to advertise, distribute, offer for sale, sell and ship
their retail products, which, upon information and belief, primarily originate from China, directly
to consumers worldwide and specifically to consumers residing in the U.S., including New York
2
Case 1:20-cv-10416-JPO Document 15 Filed 01/21/21 Page 8 of 22
8.
Defendants are not, nor have they ever been, authorized distributors or licensees of
the B&O Products. Neither Plaintiff, nor any of Plaintiff’s authorized agents, have consented to
Defendants’ use of the B&O Marks, nor has Plaintiff consented to Defendants’ use of marks that
are confusingly similar to, identical to and constitute a counterfeiting or infringement of the B&O
Marks;
9.
Plaintiff is likely to prevail on its Lanham Act and related common law claims at
10.
As a result of Defendants’ infringements, Plaintiff, as well as consumers, are likely
trial;
to suffer immediate and irreparable losses, damages and injuries before Defendants can be heard
in opposition, unless Plaintiff’s Application for ex parte relief is granted:
a. Defendants have offered for sale and sold substandard Counterfeit Products that
infringe the B&O Marks;
b. Plaintiff has well-founded fears that more Counterfeit Products will appear in the
marketplace; that consumers may be misled, confused and disappointed by the quality
of these Counterfeit Products, resulting in injury to Plaintiff’s reputation and
goodwill; and that Plaintiff may suffer loss of sales for its B&O Products; and
c. Plaintiff has well-founded fears that if it proceeds on notice to Defendants on this
Application, Defendants will: (i) secret, conceal, destroy, alter, sell-off, transfer or
otherwise dispose of or deal with Counterfeit Products or other goods that infringe
the B&O Marks, the means of obtaining or manufacturing such Counterfeit Products,
and records relating thereto that are in their possession or under their control, (ii)
inform their suppliers and others of Plaintiff’s claims with the result being that those
suppliers and others may also secret, conceal, sell-off or otherwise dispose of
Counterfeit Products or other goods infringing the B&O Marks, the means of
obtaining or manufacturing such Counterfeit Products, and records relating thereto
3
Case 1:20-cv-10416-JPO Document 15 Filed 01/21/21 Page 9 of 22
that are in their possession or under their control, (iii) secret, conceal, transfer or
otherwise dispose of their ill-gotten proceeds from its sales of Counterfeit Products
or other goods infringing the B&O Marks and records relating thereto that are in their
possession or under their control and/or (iv) open new User Accounts and Merchant
Storefront under new or different names and continue to offer for sale and sell
Counterfeit Products with little to no consequence;
11.
The balance of potential harm to Defendants of being prevented from continuing to
profit from their illegal and infringing activities if a temporary restraining order is issued is far
outweighed by the potential harm to Plaintiff, its business, the goodwill and reputation built up in
and associated with the B&O Marks and to its reputations if a temporary restraining order is not
issued;
12.
Public interest favors issuance of the temporary restraining order in order to protect
Plaintiff’s interests in and to its B&O Marks, and to protect the public from being deceived and
defrauded by Defendants’ passing off of their substandard Counterfeit Products as B&O Products;
13.
Plaintiff has not publicized its request for a temporary restraining order in any way;
14.
Service on Defendants via electronic means is reasonably calculated to result in
proper notice to Defendants.
15.
If Defendants are given notice of the Application, they are likely to secret, conceal,
transfer or otherwise dispose of their ill-gotten proceeds from their sales of Counterfeit Products
or other goods infringing the B&O Marks. Therefore, good cause exists for granting Plaintiff’s
request for an asset restraining order. It typically takes the Financial Institutions a minimum of
five (5) days after service of the Order to locate, attach and freeze Defendants’ Assets and/or
Defendants’ Financial Accounts and it is anticipated that it will take the Third Party Service
Providers a minimum of five (5) days to freeze Defendants’ Merchant Storefronts. As such, the
Court allows enough time for Plaintiff to serve the Financial Institutions and Third Party Service
4
Case 1:20-cv-10416-JPO Document 15 Filed 01/21/21 Page 10 of 22
Providers with this Order, and for the Financial Institutions and Third Party Service Providers to
comply with the Paragraphs I(B)(1) through I(B)(2) and I(C)(1) of this Order, respectively, before
requiring service on Defendants.
16.
Similarly, if Defendants are given notice of the Application, they are likely to
destroy, move, hide or otherwise make inaccessible to Plaintiff the records and documents relating
to Defendants’ manufacturing, importing, exporting, advertising, marketing, promoting,
distributing, displaying, offering for sale and/or sale of Counterfeit Products. Therefore Plaintiff
has good cause to be granted expedited discovery.

hereby GRANTED as follows:

provided by order of the Court:
1) within five (5) days after receipt of service of this Order, providing services to Defendants,
Defendants’ User Accounts and Defendants’ Merchant Storefronts, including, without
limitation, continued operation of Defendants’ User Accounts and Merchant Storefronts;
and
