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 Bala Iyer and Gabriela N. Nastasi, 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. Plaintiff is likely to prevail on its Lanham Act and copyright claims at trial. 2. As a result of Defendants’ infringements, Plaintiff, as well as consumers, are likely 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 Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works;
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 the Yummy Can Bacon Product; and
1 Where a defined term is referenced herein and not defined herein, the defined term should be understood as it is 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 Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works, 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 Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works, the means of obtaining or manufacturing such Counterfeit Products, and records relating thereto 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 Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works 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. 3. 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 Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works and to its reputations if a temporary restraining order is not issued. 4. Public interest favors issuance of the temporary restraining order in order to protect Plaintiff’s interests in and to its Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works, and to protect the public from being deceived and defrauded by Defendants’ passing off of their 5. Plaintiff has not publicized its request for a temporary restraining order in any way. 6. Good cause supports service via electronic means under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(f)(3). That rule provides for service “by other means not prohibited by international agreement, as the court orders.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3). Although Defendants are believed to be in China, which is a signatory to the Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and
Extrajudicial Documents in Civil and Commercial Matters (the “Hague Convention”), the Hague Convention by its own terms “does not apply ‘where the address of the person to be served with the document is not known.’” See Advanced Access Content Sys. Licensing Adm’r, LLC v. Shen, No. 14-CV-1112 (VSB),
2018 WL 4757939, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2018) (quoting Hague Convention art. 1). “Courts in this Circuit have found an address is ‘not known’ if the plaintiff exercised reasonable diligence in attempting to discover a physical address for service of process and was unsuccessful in doing so.”
Id.(citations omitted). Plaintiff’s efforts to discover physical addresses for defendants are detailed in the Declaration of Gabriela N. Nastasi in Support of Plaintiff’s Application and included, among other things, investigation by Plaintiff’s counsel’s Beijing office of search engines, a Chinese company registration website, and a search on the
National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System. See Nastasi Dec. at ¶¶ 24-38. Despite these efforts, Plaintiff’s counsel was not able to discover or confirm defendants’ physical addresses. Based on these representations, the Court finds that defendants’ addresses are not known, and the Hague Convention thus does not apply. Under the circumstances here, including but not limited to the delay and difficulty of conventional service and the exigencies described in plaintiff’s application, alternative service is warranted under Rule 4(f)(3). 7. Service on Defendants via electronic means is reasonably calculated to result in proper notice to Defendants. 8. If Defendants are given notice of the Application, they are likely to secret, conceal, or other goods infringing the Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works. 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 Providers with this Order, and for the Financial Institutions and Third Party Service Providers to comply with the Paragraphs I(B)(1) and I(C)(1) of this Order, respectively, before requiring service on Defendants. 9. 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. ORDER Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, Plaintiff’s Application is hereby GRANTED as follows: I. Temporary Restraining Order A. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, as sufficient cause has been shown, that Defendants are hereby restrained and enjoined from engaging in any of the following acts or omissions pending the hearing and determination of Plaintiff’s Application for a preliminary injunction as referenced

3) using any reproduction, counterfeit, copy or colorable imitation of Plaintiff’s Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works to identify any goods or service not authorized by Plaintiff; 4) using Plaintiff’s Yummy Can Bacon Marks and/or Yummy Can Bacon Works and/or any other marks and/or artwork that are confusingly similar or substantially similar to the Yummy Can Bacon Works on or in connection with Defendants’ manufacturing, importing, exporting, advertising, marketing, promoting, distributing, offering for sale, selling and/or otherwise dealing in Counterfeit Products; 5) using any false designation of origin or false description, or engaging in any action which is likely to cause confusion, cause mistake and/or to deceive members of the

2) knowingly instructing, aiding, or abetting any other person or business entity in engaging in any of the activities referred to in subparagraphs I(A)(1) through I(A)(4), I(B)(1) and I(C)(1) above.
