Where a defined term is referenced herein and not defined herein, the defined term should be understood as it is defined in the Glossary.
FACTUAL FINDINGS & CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. Mattel, through its family of companies, is a leading designer, developer, marketer, manufacturer and distributor of its well-known Mattel Products, including children's toys and games offered under some of America's most iconic and influential sub-brands, such as Barbie, UNO, Thomas & Friends, Hot Wheels, Power Wheels, American Girl and Fisher-Price.

Mattel advertises, offers for sale and/or sells its Power Wheels Products through Plaintiff's wholly owned subsidiary, Fisher-Price.
7. Fisher-Price produces educational toys for infants, toddlers and preschoolers and is a leading developer of character-based toys for children's programming such as Thomas & Friends. Some of Fisher-Price's most popular brands include Power Wheels, Laugh & Learn, Little People and Imaginext.
8. Plaintiff's Fisher-Price website is available at https://www.fisher-price.com.
9. The Power Wheels Products are sold by major U.S. retailers and e-commerce sites, such as Amazon, Target and Walmart.
10. The Power Wheels Products typically retail for between $49.99-499.99.
11. While Plaintiff has gained significant common law trademark and other rights in its Power Wheels Marks and Power Wheels Products through its and/or its predecessor's use, advertising and promotion, Plaintiff has also protected its valuable trademark rights by both acquiring and obtaining federal trademark registrations.
12. For example, Plaintiff is the owner of the Power Wheels Marks (U.S. Trademark Registration Nos. 1, 374, 017 for “POWER WHEELS” for goods in and 28; 1, 671, 657 for “POWER WHEELS” for goods in Class 9; 5, 504, 969 for POWER WHEELS for goods in Classes 9 and 28; and 5, 763, 877 for POWER WHEELS for goods in Classes 9 and 28; and 5, 763, 877 for POWER WHEELS for goods in Class 9). Plaintiff is also the owner of the Fisher-Price Marks (U.S. Trademark Registration Nos. 3, 279, 454 for goods in Class 28 and 4, 115, 688 for “FISHER-PRICE” for “computerized in the field of toys, games and playthings, electronic commerce services information about products via telecommunication networks for advertise in Class 35), collectively referred to as the Mattel Marks.
13. The Mattel Marks are currently in use in commerce in of Power Wheels Products.
14. Plaintiff has spent substantial time, money and effort developing consumer recognition, awareness and goodwill resulting in Mattel Marks and Power Wheels Products.
15. The success of the Power Wheels Products is due in par and promotional efforts, and high-quality Power Wheels Products. advertising and promotion through television, print, Plaintiffs Website, among other efforts domestically and abroad, including in New York.
16. Plaintiff's success is also due to its use of the highest quality materials and processes in making the Power Wheels Products, which meet or exceed U.S. standards.
17. Additionally, Plaintiff owes a substantial amount of the success of the Power Wheels Products to its consumers and word-of-mouth buzz that its consumers have generated.
18. As a result of Plaintiff and its predecessor's efforts, the quality of its Power Wheels Products and the word-of-mouth buzz generated by Plaintiff's consumers, the Mattel Marks have become prominently placed in the minds of the public. Members of the public have become familiar with the Mattel Marks and have come to associate them exclusively with Plaintiff. Plaintiff has acquired a valuable reputation and goodwill among the public as a result of such associations.
19. Plaintiff has gone to great lengths to protect its interests in the Mattel Marks and Power Wheels Products. No. one other than Plaintiff is authorized to manufacture, import, export, advertise, offer for sale or sell any goods utilizing the Mattel Marks, or otherwise use the Mattel Marks, without the express permission of Plaintiff.
20. Plaintiff is likely to prevail on its Lanham Act claims at trial.
21. As a result of Defendant's infringements, Plaintiff, as well as consumers, are likely to suffer immediate and irreparable losses, damages and injuries before Defendant can be heard in opposition, unless Plaintiff's Application for ex parte relief is granted:
a. Defendant has offered for sale and/or sold substandard Counterfeit Products in connection with the Mattel Marks, without Plaintiff's authorization;
b. Plaintiff has well-founded fears that more of Defendant's Counterfeit Products will appear in the marketplace; that consumers may be misled, confused and disappointed by the quality of Defendant's Counterfeit Products, resulting in injury to Plaintiff's reputation and goodwill; and that Plaintiff may suffer loss of sales for its Power Wheels Products; and
c. Plaintiff has well-founded fears that if it proceeds on notice to Defendant on this Application, Defendant will: (i) secret, conceal, transfer or otherwise dispose of its ill-gotten proceeds from Defendant's Website and/or Defendant's Counterfeit
Products, and records relating thereto that are in its possession or under its control; (ii) secret, conceal, destroy, alter, sell-off, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with Counterfeit Products or other goods that infringe the Mattel Marks, the means of obtaining or manufacturing such Counterfeit Products, and records relating thereto that are in its possession or under its control, (iii) inform 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 infringing the Mattel Marks, the means of obtaining or manufacturing such Counterfeit Products, and records relating thereto that are in its possession or under its control, and/or (iv) change the host of Defendant's Website, create new websites and/or new domain names through which Defendant will continue using the Mattel Marks, that are identical to, substantially indistinguishable from, or confusingly similar to, the Mattel Marks and/or offering for sale and selling Counterfeit Products with little to no consequence.
22. The balance of potential harm to Defendant of being prevented from continuing to profit from its 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 Mattel Marks and to its reputation if a temporary restraining order is not issued.
23. Public interest favors issuance of a temporary restraining order in order to protect Plaintiff's interests in and to its Mattel Marks, and to protect the public from being deceived and defrauded by Defendant's passing off of its substandard Counterfeit Products as Power Wheels Products, as those of Plaintiff.
24. Plaintiff has not publicized its request for a temporary restraining order in any way.
25. Service on Defendant via electronic means, including by e-mail service to xdgyatby@163.com, is reasonably calculated to result in proper notice to Defendant.
26. If Defendant is given notice of the Application, it is likely to secret, conceal, transfer or otherwise dispose of its ill-gotten proceeds from its use, infringement, and counterfeiting of the Mattel Marks, and sales of Counterfeit Products or other goods infringing the Mattel Marks. 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 Defendant's Assets and/or Defendant's Financial Accounts. 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) through I(B)(2) and I(C)(1) through I(C)(2) of this Order, respectively, before requiring service on Defendant.
27. Similarly, if Defendant is given notice of the Application, it is likely to destroy, move, hide or otherwise make inaccessible to Plaintiff the records and documents relating to Defendant's Website and/or Defendant's manufacturing, importation, exportation, advertising, marketing, promotion, distribution, display, offering for sale and/or sale of Counterfeit Products. Therefore, Plaintiff has good cause to be granted expedited discovery.
