 Before the Court is plaintiff Koon Chun Hing Kee Soy & Sauce Factory’s (“Koon 

Chun”) application, filed April 9, 2007, for default judgment against defendant Kwonk Chio Cheong 

(“Cheong”), pursuant to Rule 55(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. No opposition has been 

filed. Having reviewed the application, and for the reasons set forth in the application, the Court rules 

as follows:1

 1. Cheong has willfully and knowingly sold counterfeit products, specifically, hoisin 

sauce bearing Koon Chun’s registered trademark and trade dress. Accordingly, Koon Chun has 

established that Cheong is liable for the federal and state law claims pleaded in the Complaint. 

 2. Cheong is liable for the manufacturing profits Koon Chun lost, in the amount 

$5,644.80 trebled, specifically, $16,934.40 because Cheong knowingly sold counterfeit goods. See 15 

U.S.C. §§ 1117(a), 1117(b). In the alternative to an award based on Koon Chun's actual damages, 

Koon Chun may elect to receive statutory damages of $100,000. See 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c). Koon 

Chun shall have 14 days from the date of this order to elect between a remedy based on treble 

damages or on statutory damages. After Koon Chun has made its election, the Court will direct the 

Clerk to enter final judgment. 

 3. Cheong is liable for Koon Chun’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, according to 

proof. See 15 U.S.C. §§ 1117(a), 1117(b). Koon Chun shall file a motion for an award of attorney’s 

fees and costs and/or bill of costs no later than 14 days after entry of final judgment. See Civil L.R. 

54-1(a), 54-6(a). 

 4. Koon Chun is entitled to a permanent injunction to prohibit Cheong from further 

engaging in acts of infringement and unfair competition pertaining to usage of Koon Chun’s 

trademarks and trade dress. See 15 U.S.C. § 1116(a). Specifically, Cheong, his agents, servants, 

employees, attorneys, successors and assigns, and all those acting in concert or participation with them 

are PERMANENTLY RESTRAINED from:
