Global Equipment Company Inc. v. Global Storage Equipment Manufacturer Limited,...

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6 WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE GLOBAL EQUIPMENT COMPANY INC., CASE NO. C25-1269-KKE Plaintiff(s), ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR v. ADDITIONAL ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS GLOBAL STORAGE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER LIMITED, et al., Defendant(s).

13 The Court previously granted Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment and found that Plaintiff was entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and taxable costs. See Dkt. No. 27 at 12–13. The Court granted Plaintiff’s request for an award of $93,183.00 in fees and $1,151.41 in costs incurred through September 30, 2025, and instructed Plaintiff to file a motion for additional fees and costs incurred after that date. Id. at 15–16.

18 Plaintiff timely filed a motion for $114,604.50 in additional attorney fees and $1,447.41 in additional costs, incurred after September 30, 2025. Dkt. No. 30. Consistent with its prior order, the Court finds that both the hours expended (as documented by Plaintiff in the declarations submitted along with the motion for additional fees) and the hourly rates charged by the professionals managing this case are reasonable. See Dkt. Nos. 31, 32. Therefore, a fee award of $114,604.50 and a cost award of $1,447.41 are appropriate. See, e.g., Camacho v. Bridgeport Fin., Inc., 523 F.3d 973, 978 (9th Cir. 2008) (explaining a lodestar calculation).

1 The Court therefore GRANTS Plaintiff’s motion for an award of additional fees and costs (Dkt. No. 30). It is: 3 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Plaintiff is awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees in the amount of $114,604.50, jointly and severally, against Defendants Global Storage Equipment Manufacturers Limited (“GSE”), Certified Warehouse Equipment Inc. (“CWE”), and All Lift Warehouse Solutions Inc. (“All Lift”) (hereinafter “the Defendants”); and it is further 8 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Plaintiff is awarded costs in the amount of $1,447.41, jointly and severally, against Defendants; and it is further 10 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that judgment in the total amount of $116,051.91 shall be entered forthwith consistent with this Order, which judgment shall accrue post judgment interest at the statutory rate of 12% per annum; and it is further 13 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that service of this Order may be made by email to Defendants’ last-known email addresses used in connection with their domain registrations, websites, or sales activities, and to the abuse/legal contacts of any registrar/registry hosting the Infringing Domains. Such service constitutes sufficient notice.

17 Dated this 16th day of January, 2026.
