Amazon Files Motion for Default in Counterfeit Fire TV Remote Lawsuit

Amazon moved for an entry of default Tuesday (docket 2:23-cv-01060) in a trademark infringement lawsuit vs. Li Qiang and Shenzhen Yinxi Electronic Commerce and “John Doe” defendants in U.S. District Court for Western Washington in Seattle. Amazon filed the complaint in July (see 2307180019), alleging the defendants sold counterfeit Amazon Fire TV remotes through their Amazon selling accounts. The retailer filed a motion for alternate service Oct. 26, seeking an order allowing service upon the defendants through the email address used to register their selling account; the court granted the motion, and Amazon served defendants via email Nov. 1, said the motion. The defendants didn’t respond, “have not since appeared” in the action personally or through counsel, haven’t filed or served an answer in the action and haven’t “otherwise indicated any intent to participate in this litigation,” Amazon said.
