Trial Court Opinion

6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

9 ICU Industries Incorporated, No. CV-23-00298-TUC-AMM 10 Plaintiff, ORDER v. Copper State Glass and Screen LLC, 13 Defendant.

15 This matter is assigned to this Court pursuant to General Order 21-25. On May 7, 2024, Magistrate Judge Angela M. Martinez issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that this Court grant Plaintiff ICU Industries Incorporated's Motion for Entry of Default Judgment as to Defendant Copper State Glass and Screen LLC's liability for (1) trademark infringement under the Lanham Act; (2) false designation of origin under the Lanham Act; (3) common law trademark infringement; and (4) common law unfair competition. (Doc. 21 at 14.) Magistrate Judge Martinez further recommended the Court deny entry of default judgment as to false advertising; deny monetary damages; and provide injunctive relief enjoining Defendant's use of the infringing mark. (Id. at 14–15.) Magistrate Judge Martinez notified the parties they had fourteen days to file written objections. (Id. at 16.) Neither party filed an objection.

26 If neither party objects to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation, the District Court is not required to review the magistrate judge's decision under any specified standard of review. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). However, the statute for review of a magistrate judge's recommendation "does not preclude further review by the district judge, sua sponte or at the request of a party, under a de novo or any other standard." Id. at 154.

4 The Court has reviewed and considered the Complaint (Doc. 1), the Motion for Default Judgment (Doc. 19), and Magistrate Judge Martinez's R&R (Doc. 21). The Court finds that the R&R is well reasoned and thorough, and, therefore, agrees with its conclusions.

8 Accordingly, 9 IT IS ORDERED: 10 (1) The R&R is ADOPTED. (Doc. 21.)

11 (2) Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default Judgment (Doc. 19) is GRANTED as to 12 Defendant's liability for trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, false 13 designation of origin under the Lanham Act, common law trademark 14 infringement, and common law unfair competition; and DENIED as to 15 Defendant's liability for false advertising.

16 (3) Plaintiff shall not receive monetary damages due to lack of documentation of 17 or request for monetary damages.

18 (4) Defendant is permanently enjoined from using the infringing mark, i.e., 19 "Copper State Glass and Screen," directly or indirectly, or any other mark, 20 word, or name similar to "Copperstate Glass & Mirror," or any derivation 21 thereof which is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or to deceive directly or 22 indirectly in connection with window or glass replacement, installation, or 23 repair, or mirror or screen replacement, installation, or repair.

24 Accordingly, Defendant shall cease such use within 30 days of the date of this 25 Order.

26 (5) Defendant is permanently enjoined from using the infringing mark, i.e., 27 "Copper State Glass and Screen," or any colorable imitation thereof, on its 28 service vehicles, website(s), social media profiles and posts, promotional 1 materials, or any forms of advertising.
