GEORGE H. WU, District Judge.
ORDER FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION
This Court, having made the following findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to the parties' stipulation:
A. Plaintiff Sream, Inc. ("Sream" or "Plaintiff") filed suit against Defendant Venice Beach Collection, Inc. ("Venice-Inc"), alleging that Venice-Inc violated Sream's rights under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114, 1116, 1125(a), (c), and (d), and Cal. Bus & Prof. § 17200 et seq. ("Action");
B. The Parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement effective as of March 14, 2017 ("Settlement Agreement"), which requires entry of the stipulated judgment set forth herein, only upon a showing of proof to the Court or a certified neutral appointed arbitrator of a reasonable belief of continuing infringement;
And good cause appearing therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:
1. For the purposes of binding preclusive effect on Venice-Inc as to disputes occurring after March 14, 2017, between Venice-Inc and Sream, and only for such purposes, Venice-Inc admits the following:
a. Mr. Martin Birzle is now, and has been at all times since the dates of issuance, the owner of United States Trademark Registration Nos. 2,235,638; 2,307,176; and 3,675,839 (the "RooR Marks") and of all rights thereto and thereunder.
b. The RooR Marks are valid and enforceable.
c. Since at least 2013, Plaintiff Sream has been the exclusive licensee of the RooR Marks in the United States. Mr. Birzle has been granted all enforcement rights to Sream to sue for obtain injunctive and monetary relief for past and future infringement of the RooR Marks.
2. Effective March 14, 2017, Venice-Inc, and those acting on Venice-Inc's behalf (including its owners, shareholders, principals, officers, agents, servants, employees, independent contractors, and partners), are permanently enjoined from producing, manufacturing, distributing, selling, offer for sale, advertising, promoting, licensing, or marketing (a) any product bearing the RooR Marks or (b) any design, mark, or feature that is confusingly similar to the RooR Marks (collectively, the "Permanent Injunction").
3. Venice-Inc is bound by the Permanent Injunction regardless of whether Mr. Martin Birzle assigns or licenses his intellectual property rights to another for so long as such trademark rights are subsisting, valid, and enforceable. The Permanent Injunction inures to the benefit of Mr. Martin Birzle successors, assignees, and licensees.
4. This Court (or if this Court is unavailable, any court within the Central District of California) shall retain jurisdiction over all disputes between and among the Parties arising out of the Settlement Agreement and Permanent Injunction, and interpretation of their respective terms.
5. The Parties waive any rights to appeal this Permanent Injunction.
6. After entry of the Permanent Injunction, Defendant Venice-Inc shall be dismissed from the Action, with prejudice, with each party to bear their own attorneys' fees and costs.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
