111. D iscussion
The declarations Plaintiff subm itted in suppol'tof itsApplication supportthe following
conclusionsoflaw :
Plaintiffhasa strong probability ofproving attrialthatconsum ersare likely to be confllsed
by D efendants'advertisem ent,prom otion,sale,offerfor sale,and/ordistribution ofgoodsbearing
and/orusing counterfeits,reproductions,orcolorableim itations ofthe CCO CC m ark,and thatthe
products D efendants are selling and prom oting for sale are copies ofthe Plaintiff's products that
Case 1:25-cv-25593-FAM Document 10 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/15/2026 Page 3 of 10

bearand/oruse copiesofthe CCOCC mark,and thatthe infringem entofthe CCOCC mark,is
likelytocausePlaintifftosufferimmediateandirreparableinjtu.	yifatemporaryrestrainingorder
isnotgranted.
The following specific facts, as set forth in Plaintiffs Complaint,Application, and
accompanyingdeclarations,demonstratethatimmediateandirreparableloss,damage,andinjury
willresultto Plaintiff and to consum ers before Defendants can be heard in opposition tmless
Plaintiff's requestfor exparte reliefisgranted:
D efendants ow n or controle-com m erce stores operating tm dertheir stores

andinfringing trademarksin violation ofPlaintiffsl'ights;
Thereisgood causetobelievethatm orecotmterfeitand ingingingproducts
bearing and/orusing Plaintiff'stradem arkswillappearin the
There is good cause to believe that if Plaintiff proceeds on notice to
Defendantsofthis M otion forTemporary Restraining Order,Defendantscan easily and quicldy
change the ownership orm odify theire-com m erce storesregistration and accountdataand content,
changepaymentaccounts,redirectconsum ertrafficto otheronlinestores,and transferassetsand
ownership oftheonlinestores,thereby thwaz-ting Plaintiff'sability to obtainm enningfulrelief.
The balance ofpotentialharm to Defendantsin restraining theirtrade illcounterfeitand
infringing branded goods if a temporary restraining ordçr is issued is far outweighed by the
potentialhnrm to Plaintiff,its reputation,and its goodw ill as a m anufacturer and distributor of
quality products ifsuch reliefis notissued.
The public interestfavors issuance ofthetem porary restraining orderto protectPlaintiff's
tradem ark interests,to encourage rçspectfor the law ,to facilitate the invention and developm ent
