Defendants and any person or entity over which Defendants exercise control and who are acting in concert with, or at the direction of any of the Defendants, including any and all agents, servants, employees, partners, assignees, distributors, suppliers, resellers and any others over which any of the Defendants exercises control, are hereby restrained and enjoined, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1116, from engaging in, directly or indirectly, or authorizing or assisting any third party to engage in, any of the following activities in the United States and throughout the world:

a. copying, manufacturing, purchasing, importing, exporting, marketing, selling, offering for sale, distributing or dealing in any product or service that uses, or otherwise making any use of, any of BMW's trademarks, including but not limited to, the BMW® word and design marks, the M® word and design marks, the BMW dual kidney-shaped automobile grille design marks, the MINI® word and design marks, and/or any intellectual property that is confusingly or substantially similar to, or that constitutes a colorable imitation of, any of BMW's trademarks (collectively "BMW's Trademarks'), whether such use is as, on, in or in connection with any trademark, service mark, trade name, logo, design, Internet use, website, domain name, metatags, advertising, promotions, solicitations, commercial exploitation, television, web-based or any other program, or any product or service, or otherwise;

b. performing or allowing others employed by, under control of, or representing Defendant, or under his control, to perform any act or thing which is likely to injure BMW or any of BMW's Trademarks, specifically including but not limited to the BMW®, M®, MINI®, and BMW dual kidney-shaped automobile grille.

c. engaging in any acts of federal and/or state trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition, dilution, or other act which would tend damage or injure BMW; and/or

d. using, owning, possessing, and/or controlling any Internet domain name or website that includes any of BMW's Trademarks including but not limited to the BMW® word and design marks, the M® word and design marks, the BMW dual kidney-shaped automobile grille design marks, and the MINI® word and design marks.

2. Defendants are immediately ordered to deliver to counsel for BMW for destruction, to the extent Defendants are aware that they have any such items, all unauthorized products, including counterfeit BMW®, M®-, MINI®-branded products, apparel, stickers, labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, receptacles and/or advertisements relating thereto in their possession or under their control bearing any of BMW's Trademarks or any simulation, reproduction, counterfeit, copy or colorable imitations thereof, and all plates, molds, heat transfers, screens, matrices and other means of making the same, to the extent that any of these items are in Defendants' possession.

3. This Permanent Injunction shall be deemed to have been served upon Defendants as of the date after its entry into the ECF system.

5. NO APPEALS No appeals shall be taken from this Permanent Injunction, and the parties waive all rights to appeal, other than with respect to any issues related to the interpretation of this injunction.
