The court found liability for trademark and copyright infringement against certain defendants, with damages awarded to the plaintiffs. It was determined that the defendants were involved in selling counterfeit goods bearing trademarks owned by the plaintiffs. The main issue was whether all defendants were jointly liable for damages. The court held that some defendants were indeed liable for the infringements. Specific damages were awarded against individual defendants and corporate entities, totaling $110,750. Furthermore, punitive damages were imposed against certain defendants, amounting to $100,000 jointly and severally and $50,000 individually. The court granted the motion for a summary trial, finding it appropriate due to the evidence presented and the absence of disputes regarding the trial format.
