Nov 8, 2023MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: For now, the Plaintiff's motion 7 to effectuate service through alternative means is granted, given the Defendant's U.S.-trademark ownership, the notice to trademark counsel in the U.S., and the apparent accessibility of the business email address. Having said that, because this is decided without an adversarial presentation, after accomplishing service, the Defendant is free to move to vacate service if for some reason Civil Rule 4(f)(3) is not genuinely satisfied. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a tracking status hearing is set for 12/29/2023 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead of appearing, the parties shall file a joint initial status report on 12/18/2023, or the Plaintiff shall file it if the Defendant has not appeared.

Dec 11, 2023MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the Plaintiff's motion to serve by alternative means, and the accompanying exhibits, the motion 12 is granted under Civil Rule 4(f)(3) given the reasonably diligent attempts at service and the high likelihood of notice by the proposed alternative means. Specifically, the Plaintiff may accomplish service (1) by Amazon messaging to the Defendant Cai via the customer portal on Amazon; and (2) by email to the Defendant's U.S. trademark lawyer, William Scott Goldman, at [email protected]. The Plaintiff shall take those steps by 12/18/2023 and promptly file a proof of service on the docket. The tracking status hearing of 12/29/2023 is reset to 01/26/2024 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the parties shall file the joint initial status report by 01/17/2024, or the Plaintiff shall file the report if the Defendant has not appeared. The Plaintiff also may file a motion for default at the appropriate time. Emailed notice (mw, ) (Entered: 12/11/2023)PACER Document
