NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 2 RESTORATION HARDWARE, INC., et al., Case No. 4:23-cv-00948-HSG 3 Plaintiffs, 4 v. ORDER GRANTING MOTION ALIMIA LIGHT, et al., INJUNCTION 6 Defendants. 7 8 Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction. ECF No. 16. On May 5, 9 2023, the Court entered a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) against Defendants and set a 10 show cause hearing for why a preliminary injunction should not be entered. ECF No. 23. 11 Plaintiffs emailed Defendants notice of the TRO, which required Defendants to respond to the 12 motion for preliminary injunction by June 16, 2023. See ECF No. 26. None of the Defendants 13 filed an opposition or other response. The Court now GRANTS the motion for preliminary 14 injunction. 16 Plaintiffs are RH US, LLC and its parent company Restoration Hardware, Inc. See ECF 17 No. 1 ¶¶ 1, 4–5. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants are selling knockoffs of Plaintiffs’ lighting 18 fixtures. Id. ¶ 2. Plaintiffs bring claims for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and 19 unfair competition under California law. Id. ¶ 3. Plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction 20 enjoining Defendants from infringing Plaintiffs’ works and marks, and freezing financial 21 accounts. 23 Plaintiffs seeking preliminary relief must establish that: (1) they are likely to succeed on 24 the merits; (2) they are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; (3) 25 the balance of equities tips in their favor; and (4) an injunction is in the public interest. Id. A 26 court must find that “a certain threshold showing” is made on each of the four required elements. 27 Leiva-Perez v. Holder, 640 F.3d 962, 966 (9th Cir. 2011). Under the Ninth Circuit’s sliding 1 merits” if “a hardship balance [also] tips sharply towards the [movant],” and “so long as the 2 [movant] also shows that there is a likelihood of irreparable injury and that the injunction is in 3 the public interest.” All. for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1135 (9th Cir. 2011). 4 The goal of a preliminary injunction is to maintain the status quo, which is “the last uncontested 5 status which preceded the pending controversy.” GoTo,com, Inc. v. Walt Disney Corp, 202 F.3d 6 1199 (9th Cir. 2000) (citations omitted) (the status quo was prior to Disney’s adoption of the 7 allegedly infringing mark). 9 A. Likelihood of Success on the Merits 10 The Court finds that Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims. 11 To prevail on their copyright infringement claims, Plaintiffs must show (1) ownership of 12 the allegedly infringed material, and (2) a violation of at least one exclusive right under 17 U.S.C. 13 §106. See A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc., 239 F.3d 1004, 1013 (9th Cir. 2001). Plaintiffs 14 have provided copies of their certificates of registration from the Copyright Office (ECF No. 1- 15 2), which is prima facie evidence of the validity of their copyrights in their photographs. See 17 16 U.S.C. § 410(c). Plaintiffs also have provided a table showing RH photographs side-by-side with 17 Defendants’ infringing photographs. See ECF No. 1-4. Defendants appear to be flagrantly 18 copying and publicly displaying numerous RH copyrighted works on their websites. See 17 19 U.S.C. §§ 106(1) and (5). 20 To prevail on a claim for trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, Plaintiffs must 21 show ownership of valid RH marks and that Defendants’ use of the marks is “likely to cause 22 confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive.” See Lahoti v. VeriCheck, Inc., 586 F.3d 1190, 23 1196 (9th Cir. 2009) (citation omitted); see also 1525 U.S.C. § 1125(a). The Lanham Act 24 protects both registered and unregistered marks. Id. The standard test of ownership is priority 25 of use, and “the party claiming ownership must have been the first to actually use the mark in 26 the sale of goods or services.” Halicki Films, LLC v. Sanderson Sales & Mktg., 547 F.3d 1213, 27 1226 (9th Cir. 2008) (citation omitted). To determine whether there is a likelihood of confusion, 1 flexibly.” JL Beverage Co., LLC v. Jim Beam Brands Co., 828 F.3d 1098, 1106 (9th Cir. 2016).1 2 Plaintiffs have demonstrated that they own the RH marks (defined as the AQUITAINE, 3 ARCACHON, BOULE DE CRISTAL, CAMINO, CANNELE, CASCADA, ECLATANT, 4 FULCRUM, HARLOW, MACHINIST, MARIGNAN, PAUILLAC, PEARL, RAIN, 5 RAVELLE, RHYS, SAN MARCO, SAVILE, SPIRIDON, UTILITAIRE, WRIGHT, and 6 RESTORATION HARDWARE marks) (ECF No. 1, ¶ 60), by providing photographs of the 7 marks in use on their website and dates of first use. See ECF Nos. 1-3, 1-5. Considering the 8 Sleekcraft factors, it is evident that Defendants’ use of the RH marks is likely to cause confusion. 9 Plaintiffs’ marks are distinctive, and Defendants are using identical marks to sell products that 10 appear to be knockoffs. See ECF Nos. 1-3, 1-5. Plaintiffs and Defendants are using the same 11 marketing channels (websites) to sell the same types of products. 12 Plaintiff’s unfair competition claim is likely to succeed for the same reasons, as the Ninth 13 Circuit has held that “state common law claims of unfair competition and actions pursuant to 14 California Business and Professions Code § 17200 are ‘substantially congruent’ to claims made 15 under the Lanham Act.” Cleary v. News Corp., 30 F.3d 1255, 1262–63 (9th Cir. 1994). 16 B. Irreparable Harm 17 The Court finds that Plaintiffs are likely to suffer irreparable harm if the Court does not 18 grant preliminary relief. Since the Court has found that Plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the 19 trademark infringement claim, they are entitled to a presumption of irreparable harm under the 20 Trademark Modernization Act of 2020. Vineyard House, LLC v. Constellation Brands U.S. 21 Operations, Inc., 515 F. Supp. 3d 1061, 1081 n.16 (N.D. Cal. 2021). Further, Plaintiffs allege 22 that they have poured substantial resources into developing their brands and products since 1980. 23 See Compl. ¶¶ 57–58. Given the risk that consumers will believe they are purchasing authentic 24 RH lighting products, Plaintiffs’ loss of control over business reputation and potential damage 25 to goodwill constitutes an irreparable injury. Cisco Sys., Inc. v. Shenzhen Usource Tech. Co. No. 26 1 The factors are: (1) the strength of the mark; (2) proximity or relatedness of the goods; (3) similarity of the marks; 27 (4) evidence of actual confusion; (5) marketing channels used; (6) type of goods and the degree of care likely to be 1 5:20-CV-04773-EJD, 2020 WL 5199434, at *8 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 17, 2020) (noting intangible 2 injuries such as loss of goodwill through sale of counterfeited products can constitute irreparable 3 harm). 4 C. Balance of Equities 5 The Court finds the balance of the equities tip in Plaintiffs’ favor.

Jim Beam Brands Co., 828 F.3d 1098, 1106 (9th Cir. 2016).1 2 Plaintiffs have demonstrated that they own the RH marks (defined as the AQUITAINE, 3 ARCACHON, BOULE DE CRISTAL, CAMINO, CANNELE, CASCADA, ECLATANT, 4 FULCRUM, HARLOW, MACHINIST, MARIGNAN, PAUILLAC, PEARL, RAIN, 5 RAVELLE, RHYS, SAN MARCO, SAVILE, SPIRIDON, UTILITAIRE, WRIGHT, and 6 RESTORATION HARDWARE marks) (ECF No. 1, ¶ 60), by providing photographs of the 7 marks in use on their website and dates of first use.

Since the Court has found that Plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the 19 trademark infringement claim, they are entitled to a presumption of irreparable harm under the 20 Trademark Modernization Act of 2020.

Further, Plaintiffs allege 22 that they have poured substantial resources into developing their brands and products since 1980. 23 See Compl. ¶¶ 57–58. Given the risk that consumers will believe they are purchasing authentic 24 RH lighting products, Plaintiffs’ loss of control over business reputation and potential damage 25 to goodwill constitutes an irreparable injury. Cisco Sys., Inc. v. Shenzhen Usource Tech. Co. No. 26 1 The factors are: (1) the strength of the mark; (2) proximity or relatedness of the goods; (3) similarity of the marks; 27 (4) evidence of actual confusion; (5) marketing channels used; (6) type of goods and the degree of care likely to be 1 5:20-CV-04773-EJD, 2020 WL 5199434, at *8 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 17, 2020) (noting intangible 2 injuries such as loss of goodwill through sale of counterfeited products can constitute irreparable 3 harm). 4 C. Balance of Equities 5 The Court finds the balance of the equities tip in Plaintiffs’ favor. In infringement cases, 6 “[w]here the only hardship that the defendant will suffer is lost profits from an activity which has 7 been shown likely to be infringing, such an argument in defense ‘merits little equitable 8 consideration.’” Triad Sys. Corp. v. Se. Exp. Co., 64 F.3d 1330, 1338 (9th Cir. 1995). Any 9 hardship on Defendants from the imposition of a preliminary injunction would be the result of 10 their own infringement. As long as Defendants continue to sell products by infringing Plaintiffs’ 11 intellectual property, Plaintiffs remain at risk of damage to their reputation and goodwill. 12 D. Public Interest 13 The Court finds that it is in the public interest to issue a preliminary injunction. Public 14 policy strongly supports stopping infringement to protect consumers where there is a likelihood 15 of confusion. See, e.g., Playboy Enterprises, Inc. v. Baccarat Clothing Co., 692 F.2d 1272, 1275 16 (9th Cir. 1982) (“In addition to the harm caused the trademark owner, the consuming public is 17 equally injured by an inadequate judicial response to trademark infringement.”). 18 * * * 19 In sum, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have met all four requirements for preliminary 20 injunctive relief. 22 Plaintiffs served Defendants via email, as authorized by the Court. (ECF No. 26.) For 23 defendants located in foreign countries, courts are permitted to authorize service of process “by 24 other means not prohibited by international agreement.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3). The only 25 requirements under Rule 4(f)(3) are that service be directed by the court and not prohibited by 26 international agreement. Rio Properties, Inc. v. Rio Int’l Interlink, 284 F.3d 1007, 1015 (9th Cir. 27 2002). 1 See Microsoft Corp. v. Goldah.com Network Tech. Co., No. 17-CV-02896-LHK, 2017 WL 2 4536417, at *4 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 11, 2017). Additionally, courts in this district have authorized 3 email service and found that it is reasonably calculated to provide notice to foreign defendants, 4 including defendants based in China. See Jenkins v. Pooke, No. C 07-03112 JSW, 2009 WL 5 412987, at **2-3 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 17, 2009); Facebook, Inc. v. Banana Ads, LLC, No. C-11-3619 6 YGR, 2012 WL 1038752, at **1-2 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 27, 2012) (authorizing email service, 7 including in Hong Kong, where defendants operated online and relied on email communications 8 for their businesses); Cisco Sys., 2020 WL 4196273, at **13-14 (authorizing service by email 9 on Chinese companies). 10 Here, the Defendants provided email addresses on their website for communication and 11 sales. ECF No. 16; Facebook, 2012 WL 1038752, at **1-2 (authorizing email service, including 12 in Hong Kong, where defendants operated online and relied on email communications for their 13 businesses). Allowing Plaintiffs to serve Defendants by the Defendants’ own preferred method 14 of communication in this case is the most efficient, effective, and fastest way to provide actual 15 notice of this lawsuit, while avoiding irreparable injury and uncertainty. See Rio Properties, 284 16 F.3d at 1018 (“If any method of communication is reasonably calculated to provide RII with 17 notice, surely it is email—the method of communication which RII utilizes and prefers”). 19 Under Rule 65(c), “[t]he court may issue a . . . preliminary injunction only if the movant 20 gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages 21 sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 22 65(c). District courts have considerable discretion in setting the amount of the bond, “and the 23 bond amount may be zero if there is no evidence the party will suffer damages from the 24 injunction.” Connecticut Gen. Life Ins. Co. v. New Images of Beverly Hills, 321 F.3d 878, 882 25 (9th Cir. 2003) (internal citations omitted). “In particular, the district court may dispense with 26 the filing of a bond when it concludes there is no realistic likelihood of harm to the defendant 27 from enjoining his or her conduct.” Johnson v. Couturier, 572 F.3d 1067, 1086 (9th Cir. 2009) 1 which has been posted by Plaintiffs. That bond will be deemed sufficient for the preliminary 2 injunction. 4 In the TRO entered on May 24, 2023, the Court enjoined Defendants from infringing 5 RH’s intellectual property rights:
6 The Court enjoins Defendants and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and all persons acting in active concert and 7 participation with them from:
8 (a) copying, distributing, or publicly displaying any of Plaintiffs’ copyrighted works, including removal of the links identified in Dkt. 9 No. 1-4.
10 (b) Using any of the RH Marks or any marks confusingly similar thereto, in commerce in connection with the manufacturing, offering 11 for sale, or sale of any lighting products, including removal of the links identified in Dkt. No. 1-5. 12 13 ECF No. 23 at 6. Plaintiffs presented evidence that eighteen (18) of the twenty five (25) 14 Defendants have not complied with the TRO and continue to infringe on Plaintiffs’ copyrighted 15 works and trademarks through their websites (“Non-Compliant Defendants”).2 Specifically, 16 Plaintiffs provided charts demonstrating that the Non-Compliant Defendants did not remove all of 17 the website links identified in the TRO that displayed the infringing copyrighted works and 18 trademarks. ECF Nos. 30-2 & 30-3. 19 Plaintiffs have asked the Court to order the domain names for the Non-Compliant Defendants 20 to be disabled pending trial on the merits. Disabling the domain names would shut down the websites 21 on which the Non-Compliant Defendants are using the RH copyrighted photographs and RH Marks. 22 2 Non-Compliant Defendants are: Alimia Light as the operator of the website at (“Alimia 23 Light”); Zhongshan Zhuosai Lighting, Co., Ltd. doing business as “Yami Lighting” and “Pop Lamps” (collectively, “Zhuosai Lighting”); Shanghai ZeroTai Industrial Co. doing business as “Grand Lamps” (“Grand Lamps”); 24 Zhonshan Yuyi Co., Ltd. doing business as Wing Lighting (“Wing Lighting”); Zhongshan Laiting Lighting Co., Ltd. doing business as Oasis Lamps (“Oasis Lamps”); Fanci Light as the operator of the website at 25 (“Fanci Light”); Cure Lighting, LLC (“Cure Lighting”); Clouds Lights (“Clouds Lights”); Kushigo Limited doing business as “Eric Light” and “Emma Lighting” (collectively, “Kushigo Limited”); Lighting Forever as the operator 26 of the website (“Lighting Forever”); Zhongshan Reborn Lighting Co., Ltd. (“Reborn”); Showsun Lighting and Sunny Wang doing business as “Showsun Lighting” (collectively, “Showsun Lighting”); 27 Jinhua Sigma Industrial & Trading Co., Ltd. (“Sigma Living”); Ineffable Lighting as the operator for the website 1 However, the Non-Compliant Defendants failed to comply with the TRO requiring them to cease 2 using the RH copyrighted photographs and RH Marks. Under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1116, 3 the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 502, and the Court’s inherent authority, the Court may order parties 4 to take action to cease infringing. Specifically, the Court has the authority to order that domain names 5 be disabled, which necessarily requires cooperation from domain name registrars and registries. 6 Cisco Sys., Inc. v. Shenzhen Usource Tech. Co., No. 5:20-CV-04773-EJD, 2020 WL 5199434, 7 at *12 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 17, 2020) (ordering “Defendants’ Domain Names automatically redirect 8 to a website that provides notice of and access to filings in this action or, alternatively, disable 9 such websites”); D.light Design, Inc. v. Boxin Solar Co., No. C-13-5988-EMC, 2014 WL 10 11397885, at *4 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 4, 2014) (granting order to expand preliminary injunction to 11 include order that “the domain name registries . . . temporarily disable these domain names). 12 Based on the foregoing points, the Court will additionally order that the domain names 13 associated with the Non-Compliant Defendants’ websites be disabled until further order of the Court. 15 The Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiffs’ application for a preliminary injunction order and 16 orders as follows: 17 1. ORDERED, that pending resolution of this lawsuit or further order of the Court, 18 Defendants and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and all persons 19 acting in active concert and participation with them from: 20 (a) copying, distributing, or publicly displaying any of Plaintiffs’ copyrighted 21 works, including removal of the links identified in ECF No. 1-4. 22 (b) using any of the RH Marks or any marks confusingly similar thereto, in 23 commerce in connection with the manufacturing, offering for sale, or sale of any 24 lighting products, including removal of the links identified in ECF No. 1-5. 25 The injunction will take effect once Defendants are served this Order because the bond has 26 already been posted; it is further 27 2. ORDERED that within three (3) days of receipt of this Order, the following 1 temporarily disable these domain names, through a registry hold or otherwise, and 2 make them inactive and non-transferable pending further order of the Court: 3 4 Domain Name Registrar 5 Alimialight.com eName Technology Co., Ltd. 6 Yami-lighting.com Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co., Ltd. 7 Grandlamps.com eName Technology Co., Ltd. 8 Wing-lightings.com NameSilo, LLC 9 Oasislamps.com Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina 10 Poplamps.com GoDaddy.com, LLC 11 12 Vancei.com NameSilo, LLC 13 Fancilight.com NameCheap, Inc. 14 Curelighting.com NameSilo, LLC 15 Cloudslights.com Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina 16 Ericlightingus.com Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina 17 Emmalighting.com Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina 18 FastDomain Inc. 19 Rebornlighting.com

ORDERED that, where a third party is herein ordered to take any action, the third 26 party may, upon giving notice to Plaintiffs’ counsel, seek relief from the Order 27 applicable to said third party in whole or in part by filing an appropriate motion with ] this Court (and, upon application, any such motion may be heard on shortened time 2 if so ordered); and it is finally 3 6. ORDERED that Plaintiffs shall serve this Order on each Defendant via email in 4 accordance with ECF No. 23 (TRO), and that upon such notice shall immediately 5 file a proof of service certifying service and describing the means of service. 6 Defendants are thereby given notice they shall be deemed to have actual notice of 7 the issuance and terms of such Preliminary Injunction and any act by them or any 8 one of them in violation of any of the terms thereof may be considered and 9 prosecuted as contempt of this Court. 10
