Judge Wolf entered default judgment in favor of Cengage, finding the well-pled facts of the complaint showed that defendents sold counterfeit versions of Cengage 2019s copyrighted textbooks bearing Cengage 2019s trademarks. Most of the defendants failed to answer the complaint, and the one who did file an answer then failed to respond to a motion for preliminary injunction and ceased responding to its counsel. Judge Wolf went on to determine that the infringement was willful, based on the defendants 2019 use of false names and addresses to register online storefronts on Amazon.com and on their failure to appear. Maximum statutory damages for both trademark and copyright infringement totaling $2.9 million were awarded, and a permanent injunction was entered.
