a Dandyworld, All Hail to the King!, Step Into the Krazy Life, and Andreas Carlsson Dandy) or works concerning them.
2. Plaintiffs' use of the song title "If You Can Dream It, You Can Be It" in the script for Beyond The Velvet Rope does not constitute unfair competition as to Defendant Jazan Wild and his registered trademarks for "If You Can Dream It, You Can Be It."
As the prevailing parties, Plaintiffs may recover costs from Defendant pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(1). DATED: 5/14/2018
