“Defendants”) The Court, having reviewed Plaintiffs’ Complaint, Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause Why a Preliminary Injunction Should Not Issue, the supporting Declarations and exhibits submitted therewith, grants Plaintiffs’ Motion, and makes the following findings and conclusions: Plaintiff Lindsey Adelman is an acclaimed designer of high quality lighting products. Adelman’s lighting design products are made, marketed, and sold through Lindsey Adelman Studio. Plaintiffs own federally registered trademarks for “LINDSEY ADELMAN STUDIO” and “BRANCHING BUBBLE”, which is a well-known chandelier and collection of lighting designs sold by Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also sell and market their lighting products under unregistered trademarks that indicate origin from Plaintiffs which include the LINDSEY ADELMAN name, and other lighting design collections Agnes, Cherry Bomb, Branching Branching Disc, Burst, Catch, Kingdom, Drop System, and Clamp Light. These, together with Plaintiffs’ registered marks are collectively referred to as the “Lindsey Adelman marks”.
Plaintiffs’ Complaint, memorandum of law in support of temporary relief, supporting Declarations and exhibits thereto allege and present compelling evidence that Defendants are manufacturing, distributing, marketing, offering for sale, and or selling through the internet and various social media websites counterfeit reproductions and copies of Plaintiffs’ lighting design products bearing counterfeit and infringing copies of Plaintiffs’ federally protected registered and unregistered Lindsey Adelman marks in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. sections 1114 and 1125(a).1 Defendants also use authentic pictures of Plaintiffs’ products that were commissioned and developed by Plaintiffs for use by Plaintiffs in their lighting design business. In further violation
of Plaintiffs’ rights, Defendants have obtained copies of Plaintiffs’ authentic product photographs, and utilize those images in Defendants’ sale and marketing of inauthentic copies. Defendants present Plaintiffs’ products images as their own in the precise way that Plaintiffs present their authentic products; both in conjunction with the Lindsey Adelman marks.
1 Plaintiffs’ seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction under Counts I, II, III, IV and X of their Complaint asserting claims for: Infringement of Registered Trademark “LINDSEY ADELMAN STUDIO” (count I); Infringement of Registered Trademark “BRANCHING BUBBLE” (count II); False designation of Origin/Infringement of Unregistered Trademark “LINDSEY ADELMAN” (count III); False designation of Origin/Infringement of various Unregistered “LINDSEY ADELMAN marks” (count IV); and federal common law Unfair Competition/Passing Off (count X). Standard for Temporary Relief and Plaintiffs’ Entitlement to Same Rule 65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides in part that a temporary restraining order may be granted without written or oral notice to the opposing party or that party's counsel where “it clearly appears from the specific facts shown by affidavit . . . that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the applicant before the adverse party or that
party’s attorney can be heard in opposition.” Moreover, temporary restraining orders are available on an ex parte basis if the movant shows through an affidavit that there is a threat of intervening immediate, irreparable harm before the adverse party may be heard in opposition and the movant’s attorney certifies in writing why notice should not be required. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b). “Within the Second Circuit, the standards for the entry of a TRO are the same as those that govern the entry of a preliminary injunction, and require the plaintiff to demonstrate: ‘(a) irreparable harm and (b) either (1) likelihood of success on the merits or (2) sufficiently serious questions going to the merits ... and a balance of hardships tipping towards the party requesting preliminary relief.’” Moose Toys Pty Ltd. v.

Thriftway Hylan Blvd. Drug Corp., 15-CV-4483 DLI
MDG, 2015 WL 4772173, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. 2015)(citing Fequiere v. Tribeca Lending, 2015 WL 1412580, *2 (E.D.N.Y. 2015) (quoting Christian Louboutin S.A. v. Yves Saint Laurent America Holding, Inc., 696 F.3d 206, 215 (2d Cir.2012)); see also Salinger v. Colting, 607 F.3d 68, 74–75 (2d Cir. 2010). The Court finds that Plaintiffs are substantially likely to succeed on the merits of their claims for infringement and counterfeiting of registered and unregistered trademarks, pursuant to the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§1114 and 1125(a). Due to Defendants’ use of counterfeit and infringing Lindsey Adelman marks in connection with unauthorized copies of Plaintiffs’ products, Plaintiffs are likely to suffer immediate and irreparable harm in the absence of a temporary restraining order. Plaintiffs’ Complaint, Motion for temporary relief, supporting Declarations and exhibits thereto underscore the threat of immediate and irreparable damage to Plaintiffs and consumers with respect to the goodwill residing in the Lindsey Adelman marks, and through a likelihood of consumer confusion in the absence of ex parte temporary relief.
Defendants own or control an internet website business located at www.lucretiashop.com.au, www.replicalights.com.au, www.replica-lights.com, www.delightful.su, www.left-concept.ru, www.jasboutique.co.uk, www.theplumplum.com, www.great-light.ru, www.vakkerlighting.com, www.mooielight.com, and www.svetmarket.ru, through which Defendants advertise, promote, offer for sale, and sell copies of Plaintiffs’ lighting design products bearing counterfeit and infringing trademarks in violation of Plaintiffs’ rights. Defendants use Plaintiffs’ pictures of authentic products with the Lindsey Adelman marks on Defendants’ website, depicting Plaintiffs’ products and marks as Defendants’ own. Defendants further direct traffic to their website, and conduct further infringement through the use of third-
party providers, such as search engines like google, and also promote their counterfeiting and infringement through social media accounts, including on Instragram, Facebook, and Pinterest. There is good cause to believe that more counterfeit and infringing products bearing Plaintiffs’ marks will appear in the marketplace; that consumers are likely to be misled, confused, or disappointed by the quality of these products; and that Plaintiffs may suffer loss of sales for their genuine products, a loss of goodwill associated with their marks, and an erosion of the legitimate marketplace in which Plaintiffs do business. Defendants have taken steps to shield their true identities and location. Defendants’ website in some instances falsely list a business address where they do not have an office, nor any other sign of existence. Defendants’ efforts to hide their identity and create the false impression that they conduct business from within the United States further underscores that if Plaintiffs proceed on notice to Defendants with their Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, Defendants may easily and quickly transfer the registrations for their internet domain name, or modify registration data and content, change hosts, and redirect traffic to other websites, thereby thwarting
Plaintiffs’ ability to obtain meaningful relief. The balance of potential harm to Defendants in restraining their trade in counterfeit and infringing goods if a temporary restraining order is issued is far outweighed by the potential harm to Plaintiffs, their reputation, and goodwill as a designer, manufacturer and distributor of quality products if such relief is not issued. Moreover, the public interest favors issuance of the temporary restraining order in order to protect Plaintiffs’ trademark interests and protect the public from being defrauded by the palming off of counterfeit goods as Plaintiffs’ genuine products. Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause Based on the foregoing, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte
Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause is GRANTED as follows: 1. Defendants Defendants, LUCRETIA LIGHTING PTY.
