Philips DVD+Rewritable Trademark Enforced

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. v. KXD Technology, Inc., et al.

Case No. CV 05-1532 RLH (GWF)

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., or Royal Philips, successfully protected its intellectual property rights by filing a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against the defendants Shenzhen Kaixinda Electronics Co. Ltd., KXD Technology, Inc., Shenzhen KXD Multimedia Co. Ltd., KXD Digital Entertainment Ltd., Astar Electronics, Inc., and Jingyi "James" Luo, based on their unauthorized sale and distribution of DVD players bearing Royal Philips' DVD+ReWritable & Design trademark. On August 1, 2007, the court granted Royal Philips' motion to freeze KXD's assets, including all real property and bank accounts. The court also ordered an impoundment of KXD's entire inventory, an assignment to Royal Philips of the outstanding payments owed to KXD by third party debtors and the certification and registration for execution of the court's order for civil contempt sanctions against KXD for enforcement in other jurisdictions. Finally, the court ordered KXD to repatriate all funds transferred to China during the litigation, to deposit those funds into a bank within the Central District of California and to disburse those funds only after giving notice to Royal Philips and upon obtaining court approval. The court's findings and conclusions in the order show that defendants should not play loose and fast with the federal courts of the United States.

Case 2:05-cv-01532-RLH-GWF    683 Filed 08/03/2007    Page 2 of 12

Before the Court is Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion for an Order to Freeze Assets
("Asset Freeze Motion") (#604), filed April 5, 2007. The Court has also considered Plaintiff's
sealed supplements to the Asset Freeze Motion (#671 & #677), filed July 20, 2007, and July 27,
2007.

This matter, having come before the Court on Koninklijke Philips Electronics
N.V.'s ("Philips") Asset Freeze Motion against KXD Technology, Inc. ("KXD Technology"),
Astar Electronics, Inc. ("Astar"), Shenzhen KXD Multimedia Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Kaixinda
Electronics Co., Ltd., KXD Digital Entertainment, Ltd., Jingyi Luo, a/k/a James Luo and Astar
Electronics USA, Inc. (collectively, "KXD Defendants") and the Court having reviewed and
considered all papers submitted in support of Plaintiff's Asset Freeze Motion, such as the relevant
pleadings, evidence presented in this matter, and arguments of counsel, the Court now makes the
following ruling:

FINDINGS OF FACT

  1. 1.   On February 28, 2007, at the hearing on the KXD Defendants' emergency
    application to stay the Court's contempt order ("Emergency Stay Hearing"), the Court found that
    the KXD Defendants have a history of avoiding this Court's orders and moving assets out of
    California.
  2. 2.   The Court found that: "[T]here have been efforts, which were only avoided by a
    seizure order, to hurriedly, secretly remove assets from California so that they would not be
    accessible." (Dkt. #579, Emerg. Stay Hr'g 9:19-25; 10:1-17.)
  3. 3.   The Court has found that the KXD Defendants have a track record in not
    complying with the Court's Orders. (Id. at 22:15-25.)
  4. 4.   The Court has already recognized that the KXD Defendants "quite frankly, have
    not shown that they are going to make it easy for anyone to collect" anything, or whether the assets
    are truly available. (Id. at 10:14-17.)

Case 2:05-cv-01532-RLH-GWF    683 Filed 08/03/2007    Page 3 of 12
  1. 5.   The KXD Defendants have failed and refused to comply with the Court's
    temporary restraining order ("TRO") (Dkt. #39), preliminary injunction ("PI") (Dkt. #252) and
    civil contempt order ("Civil Contempt Order I") (Dkt. #558).
  2. 6.   The TRO and PI enjoined and restrained the KXD Defendants from, among
    other things, "manufacturing, importing, exporting, distributing, shipping, introducing into
    commerce, offering for sale, selling, returning, disposing of, packaging, re-packing, marketing,
    advertising, or supplying any goods that bear, embody, display, or affix the DVD+ReWritable &
    Design mark" (the "Counterfeit Products").
  3. 7.   Despite the Court's issuance of the PI on March 14, 2006, the KXD Defendants
    have failed to submit a sufficient compliance report "in writing and under oath setting forth in
    detail the manner and form in which compliance with [the PI] was made."(Dkt. #252, Prelim. Inj.
    6.)
  4. 8.   On February 23, 2007, the KXD Defendants filed an Emergency Ex Parte
    Application for Stay of Order Imposing Sanctions for Civil Contempt ("Emergency Application
    for Stay"). (Dkt. #562.)
  5. 9.   Despite this Court's denial of the Emergency Application for Stay and finding
    that the order was not appealable, the KXD Defendants applied to the Ninth Circuit for a stay.
  6. 10.   The Ninth Circuit also denied the KXD Defendants' request for a stay. (Dkt.
    #618, Hedrick Dec. Ex. A.)
  7. 11.   The KXD Defendants have refused to pay the sanctions ordered in Civil
    Contempt Order I despite continual assertions in papers filed with the Court, and at hearings, that
    KXD Defendants are more than capable of paying the ordered amounts. (Transcript of Contempt
    Sanction Hearing, Dkt. #544, p. 37); (see also Mot. for Stay, Dkt. # 562, 5) (counsel for KXD
    Defendants stated: "The KXD Defendants . . . are more than capable of satisfying the sanctions
    award.")

Case 2:05-cv-01532-RLH-GWF    683 Filed 08/03/2007    Page 4 of 12
  1. 12.   There is evidence that the KXD Defendants are liquidating and encumbering
    their assets. (Dkt. #671 & #677.)
  2. 13.   Mr. Luo has made false statements to this Court. Mr. Luo falsely assured the
    Court that he, Astar, and KXD Technology were complying with the TRO, when in fact, Mr. Luo
    was informed of, expressly authorized, or ratified business transactions in violation of the TRO.
    (See Dkt. #424, Mot. for Civil Contempt Sanctions 13; see also Dkt. #426 & #427, Nezik Decl.,¶¶
    19-50, Exhs. 17-48.)
  3. 14.   The KXD Defendants have represented to this Court under penalty of perjury
    that they have a net worth of $50,000,000.00. (Dkt. #562, Liu Decl. ¶ 5.)
  4. 15.   The KXD Defendants have declared that they have inventory in the United
    States valued at more than $10,000,000.00 that demonstrates the ability to pay "any ultimate
    judgment." (Id. at ¶ 6.)
  5. 16.   Despite these resources and the additional thirty days granted by the Court to
    pay the monetary sanctions, the KXD Defendants have failed to pay Philips any of the damages,
    costs and attorneys' fees of $1,674,799.84, failed to file a certification with the court of
    proof of payment, failed to pay any of the $10,000.00 per diem sanctions and failed to post the
    $2,000,000.00 bond.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

  1. 17.   This Court has already expressed its distrust of the KXD Defendants, based
    upon the KXD Defendants' track record of secretly moving and attempting to move assets out of
    reach. (Dkt. #579, Emerg. Stay Hr'g 9:19-25; 10:1-17.)
  2. 18.   Philips has sufficiently established why it filed this motion ex parte without
    notice as the KXD Defendants are likely to conceal, transfer or otherwise hide their assets if they
    are notified of Philips' request that this Court freeze the KXD Defendants' assets.

(Rev. 8/82)
Case 2:05-cv-01532-RLH-GWF    683 Filed 08/03/2007    Page 5 of 12
  1. 19. In determining whether to grant a preliminary injunction that freezes assets to
    protect a potential recovery, this Circuit applies the standard test that is used to evaluate claims for
    preliminary injunctive relief. FTC v. Evans Product Co., 775 F.2d 1084, 1088 (9th Cir. 1985).
  2. 20. Under the first part of the test, the movant must show 1) irreparable injury, 2)
    probable success on the merits, 3) that the balance of hardships tips in the movant's favor, and 4)
    that a preliminary injunction freezing assets is in the public interest. Id. "Alternatively, a court
    may issue an injunction if the moving party demonstrates either a combination of probable success
    on the merits and irreparable injury or that serious questions are raised and the balance of
    hardships tips in his favor." Id. at 1088-89.
  3. 21. The purpose of a temporary restraining order is to preserve the status quo and
    prevent irreparable harm just so long as is necessary to hold a hearing, and no longer. Granny
    Goose Foods, Inc. v. Brotherhood of Teamsters
    , 415 U.S. 423, 439 (1974).
  4. 22. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b) allows a court to issue a temporary
    restraining order without written or oral notice to the adverse party if it is clear from affidavit or
    verified complaint that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result, and adequate
    reasons are given supporting the claim that notice should not be required.
  5. 23. The Ninth Circuit has recognized that an order freezing a defendant's assets is
    appropriate to preserve the status quo so that assets can be preserved to satisfy an equitable decree.
    Reebok Intern. Ltd. v. Marnatech Enters., Inc., 970 F.2d 552, 558-561 (9th Cir. 1992).
  6. 24. Fed. R. Civ. P. 64 permits seizures of property as authorized by federal law,
    including by way of "attachment . . . and other corresponding or equivalent remedies."

      Irreparable Injury

  1. 25. The Court found in its Civil Contempt Order I that the KXD Defendants did
    not comply with the Court's PI and TRO and continued to actively violate both orders. Thus, the
    record establishes that the KXD Defendants were in contempt of the Court's PI and TRO. (Civil
    Contempt Order I, 4.)

Case 2:05-cv-01532-RLH-GWF    683 Filed 08/03/2007    Page 6 of 12
  1. 26. The KXD Defendants are also in contempt of the Civil Contempt Order I.
    They have not complied with Civil Contempt Order I, despite the Court's leniency as to the
    amount of monetary sanctions and the timing of the payments. (Dkt. #579, Emerg. Stay Hr'g.)
  2. 27. As established by the KXD Defendants' behavior, in willfully disobeying the
    TRO, the PI, and the Civil Contempt Order I (including the previous behavior of the KXD
    Defendants' counsel, attempting to aid in the concealment of Counterfeit Products by shipping
    assets to China despite the Court's seizure orders), the KXD Defendants are likely to dissipate
    their bank accounts and liquidate or hide their other assets unless the Court intervenes and
    removes this option by freezing their assets. The KXD Defendants have yet to make any payment
    as ordered by the Civil Contempt Order I.
  3. 28. Plaintiff also brings to the Court's attention that since the issuance of the Civil
    Contempt Order I, the KXD Defendants have encumbered their resources within the United States
    with liens from Chinese banks; and Defendant James Luo is liquidating his property and
    transferring title to his wife. (Dkt. #671 & #677) (supplementing the Asset Freeze Motion). Thus,
    the Court finds that absent this Order to freeze assets, it is likely that the KXD Defendants will
    make the injury to Plaintiff irreparable.

Probable Success on the Merits

  1. 29. The Court has already found previously that there is a probability of success on
    the merits in issuing the previous preliminary injunction (Dkt. #252, Prelim. Inj. 3-4.)

The Balance of Hardships Favors the Issuance of the Asset Freeze Order

  1. 30. If the Court does not issue an asset freeze order, Philips would be irreparably
    harmed because the assets in the KXD Defendants' bank accounts and other assets would likely be
    secreted away and dissipated. Given the KXD Defendants track record, they are likely to conceal,
    transfer or otherwise hide their assets. Under these circumstances, an order limiting the KXD
    Defendants' access to their assets is the only means that this Court has of ensuring that Philips will
    be able to recover any of the damages that this Court awarded in its Civil Contempt Order I, or that

are likely to be found with a successful trial on the merits. The threat of irreparable injury to
Philips causes the "balance of hardships" to tip decidedly in favor of Philips.

A Preliminary Injunction is in the Public's Interest

  1. 31.   It is in the public's interest to protect trademarks so that consumers are not
    deceived into buying a product that is not what it purports to be. Issuing an injunction here will
    promote the protection of Philips' trademark. Therefore, the Court finds that the Public interest
    favors a injunction.

Reasons that Notice Should Not Be Required

  1. 32.   Plaintiff has submitted adequate reasons and evidence to show that the KXD
    Defendants will likely liquidate and hide their assets if notice were given on this Motion.
    Furthermore, the KXD Defendants have already shown their desire to avoid seizures by shipping
    assets out of the country. Therefore, the Court finds that preliminary notice is not required.

KXD Defendants' Assets Can Be Impounded until they have Complied with the Orders of
this Court

  1. 33.   The KXD Defendants have claimed that they have inventory worth
    $10,000,000.00 located in their warehouse in Baldwin Park, California, which could be used as
    "security for their performance" on Civil Contempt Order I. (Dkt. #562, Liu Decl. ¶ 6.) In order to
    prevent the KXD Defendants from liquidating their inventory without first complying with the
    Court's orders and tendering payment to Philips, the Court has the authority to impound the
    inventory until the KXD Defendants comply with the Civil Contempt Order I and any further
    orders issued by the Court.

Philips Has Already Provided Security

  1. 34.   Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) requires that security be posted in an amount to be
    determined by this Court. Philips has already posted security in this action in the amount of
    $50,000.00. Therefore, the Court will only require a nominal bond of $1,000 to be posted for this
    injunction.
