DEFENDANTS’ PROPOSED INSTRUCTION NO. 23 

 Throughout the trial, you have heard evidence of trademarks owned by third parties that 

are not involved in this specific lawsuit. In the event, you elect to award damages, the damages 

you award may only relate to the Plaintiff in this lawsuit. You may not award this particular 

plaintiff any damages with respect to third parties who may bring lawsuits of their own. 

Authority: 

Plaintiff has indicated that it intends to introduce evidence of domain names registered by 

Defendants which allegedly violate the trademark rights of third parties that are not in this 

lawsuit. Such evidence creates the possibility (if not probability) that a damages award in this 

matter, if any, would incorporate damages related to these third parties. 

 In Philip Morris U.S.A. v. Williams, 127 S. Ct. 1057, the Supreme Court held that 

damages awarded to compensate for alleged misconduct to non-parties violates the Due Process 

Clause of the Constitution. For that reason, where the evidence refers to non-parties, the Court 

must, upon request, issue a jury instruction which protects against an award of damages related 

to non-parties. Defendants maintain that the rationale in Williams is equally applicable to cases 

involving statutory damages and respectfully submit that the Court issue this instruction to 

protect against a violation of due process. 

 Respectfully Submitted, 

Dated: May 29, 2012 /s/William A. Delgado
