`
`identical or

`substantially indistinguishable
`
`reproductions ofthe registered trademarksof Plaintiffs Pearson, Cengage, Elsevier, Elsevier B.V.,

`operate on online marketplaces (“Online Storefronts”), including Amazon.com, Abebooks.com,
`
`and eBay.com (“Online Marketplaces”), and sales on “buyback portals” operated by several

`
`FACTUAL FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
`
`L.
`
`Plaintiffs have provided Defendants with notice of the Complaint and the exhibits
`
`thereto, the Court’s August 17, 2023 Ex Parte Order(“August 17, 2023 Ex Parte Order”) granting
`
`the Application,
`
`the Court’s August 28, 2023 Modified Ex Parte Order (“August 28, 2023
`
`Modified Ex Parte Order”), and the other papers filed in this case, as set forth in the Declaration
`
`of Daryl L. Kleiman filed by Plaintiffs.
`
`2.
`
`The Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants under Section 302(a) of the
`
`New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (“C.P.L.R.”) on the grounds that Defendants: (i) own
`
`and/operate highly interactive online storefronts on highly interactive websites
`
`that are
`
`continuously accessible to and sell and deliver goods to consumers in New York,including copies
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-07284-PAC Document 34 Filed 09/14/23 Page 3 of 27
`
`of the Publishers’ textbooks that are listed in in Exhibit A to the Complaint, which is attached
`
`hereto as Appendix A (the “Authentic Works”); (ii) have sold copies of the Publishers’ textbooks
`
`to New York consumers,
`
`including copies of the Authentic Works; (iii) have engaged in the
`
`importation of textbooks into the Port ofNew York and New Jersey and/or by air into New York,
`
`including copiesofcertain Authentic Works; and/or(iv) have committed tortious acts in New York
`
`by the above-described conduct or caused injury to Plaintiffs in New York.
`
`3,
`
`As aresult of Defendants’ distribution of counterfeit copies of the Authentic Works
`
`(“Counterfeit Textbooks”) in the United States, (i) the Publishers are likely to succeed in showing
`
`that Defendants have infringed and are continuing to infringe the federally registered copyrights
`
`in the Authentic Works the Publishers own or exclusively control, including through sales to
`
`Nationa! Distributors and on at least the following Online Storefronts: 1) Prowisdombooks on
`
`Amazon.com: 2) geniuswindow on eBay.com; 3) ncbooks on eBay.com; 4) QUEVECK on
`
`Abebooks.com; 5) extravision on Amazon.com, 6) my favourite book store on Amazon.com; and
`
`7) padid798 on eBay.com; and (ii) the Trademark Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in showing that
`
`Defendants have infringed and are continuing to infringe the federally registered trademarks of
`
`which the Trademark Plaintiffs are the owners and/or registrants, as defined in [5 U.S.C, § 1127
`
`(the “Marks”), including by using counterfeit reproductions of the Marks, as defined in 15 U.S.C.
`
`§ 1127,
`
`in commerce in connection with the sale, offering for sale, and/or distribution of
`
`Counterfeit Textbooks.
`
`4,
`
`The continuedsale and distribution ofthe Counterfeit Textbooks, and the infringing
`
`reproductions ofthe Marks in connection therewith, will result in immediate and irreparable injury
`
`to Plaintiffs if the requested relief is not granted.
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-07284-PAC Document 34 Filed 09/14/23 Page 4 of 27
`
`5.
`
`The balance of potential harm to Defendants, if any, by being prevented from
`
`continuingto profit from infringing activities ifa Preliminary Injunctionis issued is far outweighed
`
`by the harmto Plaintiffs, their businesses, and the value associated with the Publishers’ copyrights
`
`and the Marksif a Preliminary Injunction orderis not issued,
`
`6.
`
`Public interest favors issuance of a Preliminary Injunction in order to protect
`
`Plaintiffs’ interests in their intellectual property rights and to protect the public from the harm
`
`caused by Defendants’ activity at issue in this case, including the potential that consumers will be
`
`confused and deceived into believing, incorrectly, that they are purchasing authentic copies ofthe
`
`Publisher’s textbooks.
`
`7.
`
`Based on the evidence presented concerning the nature and extent of Defendants’
`
`counterfeiting activities, their efforts to conceal their identities and Counterfeit Textbook sales,
`
`and the actions of other counterfeiters in the comparable position of Defendants, withoutthe asset
`
`restraint provisionsset forth below, Defendants are likely to secrete, conceal, transfer, or otherwise
`
`dispose of the proceedsfrom their sales of the Counterfeit Textbooks, thus frustrating Plaintiffs’
`
`ability to obtain the final relief they seek.
`
`8.
`
`On or about August 21, 2023, Defendant Hasan wasgiven notice ofthis case
`
`while it wasstill under seal by a third-party that had been served with a subpoena pursuant to the
`
`Expedited Discovery Orderin the August 17, 2023 Ex Parte Order. Defendant Hasan appeared
`
`at a seizure executed by the United States Marshals on August 22, 2023 at Extra Space Storage,
`
`601 Maynard Crossing Court, Cary, North Carolina 27513 (“August 22, 2023 Seizure”) pursuant
`
`to the Order to Seize or Impound Goodsin the August 17, 2023 Ex Parte Order (“August 17,
`
`2023 Seizure Order”). Plaintiffs then provided Defendant Hasan with a copy ofthe sealed
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-07284-PAC Document 34 Filed 09/14/23 Page 5 of 27
`
`Complaint and the August 17, 2023 Ex Parte Orderand advised Defendant Hasan to obtain legal
`
`counsel.
`
`9.
`
`During the August 22, 2023 Seizure, Plaintiffs discovered over a hundred
`
`thousand textbooks and other written works in nine large storage units rented by Defendant
`
`Hasan (“ESS Storage Units”). The Publishers have confirmedthat the ESS Storage Units
`
`contain thousands of counterfeit copies of the Publishers’ Copyrighted Works. On August22,
`
`2023, Defendant Hasan consentedto Plaintiffs taking possession of the ESS Storage Units, as
`
`well as their contents, including any items sent to, addressed to, or otherwise en route to the ESS
`
`Storage Units (“ESS Seized Products”), until and including September21, 2023. Following the
`
`August 22, 2023 Seizure, Defendants Hasan and his wife, Nasima Alchter, retained counsel in
`
`Raleigh, North Carolina. On September12, 2023, Defendant Hasan, through such counsel,
`
`consented to Plaintiffs taking or maintaining possession of the ESS Seized Products for an
`
`additional 90 days, until and including December20, 2023. Plaintiffs (and their agents) remain
`
`in the process of reviewing the contents ofthe ESS Storage Units in orderto identify
`
`counterfeits,
`
`10.
`
`On September8, 2023, Defendants Hasan and Akhter, through counsel, also
`
`provided a signed consentpermitting Plaintiffs (and their agents, including their counsel
`
`Oppenheim + Zebrak, LLP) to take possession of any andall goodsrelating to importations of
`
`books by Defendants Hasan and Akhter, on their behalf, or bound for them (“Importation
`
`Products”), including shipments for which the importer, consignee, or destination address is 601
`
`Maynard Crossing Court, Cary, North Carolina 27513 (the ESS Storage Units address). This
`
`consent extends to any andall goodsrelating to past, present, and/or future importations of books
`
`by Defendants Hasan and Akhterortheir behalf, including but notlimited to five shipments that
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-07284-PAC Document 34 Filed 09/14/23 Page 6 of 27
`
`Defendants Hasan and Akhter understand are currently being detained by U.S. Customs &
`
`Border Protection (“CBP”).
`
`11.
`
`Inan effort to fully effectuate the August 17, 2023 Seizure Order, Plaintiffs
`
`provided CBP with the August 17, 2023 Ex Parte Order, as well as the sealed Complaintin this
`
`action. CBP’s position is as follows: Pursuantto its independent authority for the border
`
`enforcementofintellectual property rights (e.g., 19 U.S.C. § 1526(e), 19 U.S.C.
`
`§ 1595a(c)(2)(C), 19 U.S.C. § 1499, 15 U.S.C, § 1124, 17 U.S.C. § 602), CBP has agreed to
`
`detain goodsrelating to importations by Defendants in five shipments (“Detained Shipments”)
`
`that have arrived at the Port of JEK Airport in New York and the Port of Newark, New Jersey
`
`(the “Port Seizures”) to date, for a period of 30 days from the arrival date of each shipment.
`
`However, recognizing these enforcementactions are undertaken pursuantto its independent
`
`authority noted above, CBPreservestheright in the future to move to quash the August 28, 2023
`
`Ex Parte Orderas it has objectionsto the interpretation and the applicability of the Lanham Act
`
`provision in question and, therefore, does not concedethatit is bound to take action or by the
`
`procedure set forth in the August 17, 2023 Seizure Orderasit pertains to CBP, Plaintiffs’
`
`position is as follows: The Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1116(d) applies to CBP, including pursuant
`
`to 15 U.S.C. § 1116(d)(9), and the August 17, 2023 Seizure Orderand this Order are proper with
`
`respect to CBP,including as they concern trademarks that are registered with the U.S. Patent and
`
`Trademark Office but not separately with CBP. Notwithstanding these respective positions,
`
`Plaintiffs and CBP are meeting and conferring regarding the continued detention and the
`
`disposition of the Detained Shipments and have agreed to update the Court on the progress of
`
`these efforts by September18, 2023. Forconfirmation, CBP reservesall rights and is not
`
`conceding any issues by not objecting to the August 17, 2023 Ex Parte Orderorany amended
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-07284-PAC Document 34 Filed 09/14/23 Page 7 of 27

`
`objecting to the modified provisions of the August 28, 2023 Modified Ax Parte Order as they
`
`pertain to CBP.
