JUDGMENT - 4 - Levi Strauss & Co. v. T&Y Fashion, Inc.

 Case No. C 06-07320 MEJ 

Tab trademark; 

 b. Manufacturing, licensing, selling, offering for sale, distributing, importing, 

exporting, advertising, promoting, or displaying any products that display any tab that may reasonably 

be believed to be as similar or more similar to the Tab trademark than the T&Y tab; 

 c. Violating the rights of Levi Strauss & Co. in and to its Tab trademark; and 

 d. Assisting, aiding or abetting any person or entity engaging in or performing any 

act prohibited by this paragraph. 

 3. In the event that T&Y violates the terms of this Judgment by making, selling or 

offering for sale garments displaying the T&Y tab illustrated in Exhibit A, it shall pay to LS&CO. 

liquidated damages of (a) 20% of the sales revenue received by T&Y at any time on account of such 

garments, or (b) $10,000, whichever is greater, and judgment shall be entered against T&Y for that 

amount. T&Y specifically acknowledges that this is a reasonable estimate of the damages to which 

LS&CO. would be entitled by virtue of T&Y's sales of such garments and the costs LS&CO. has 

incurred in enforcing its rights. Such liquidated damages shall be in addition to any further damages 

or equitable relief to which LS&CO. may be entitled with respect to future sales by T&Y that violate 

LS&CO.'s trademark rights, but any payments made by T&Y pursuant to this paragraph shall be 

deemed a credit against any potential award of damages under this paragraph. 

 4. This Court shall retain jurisdiction for the purpose of making any further orders 

necessary or proper for the construction or modification of this Judgment, the enforcement thereof, 

and/or the punishment for any violations thereof. If LS&CO. commences an action for enforcement 

of this Judgment, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the 

other party.
