How courts have described this case

• ruling court had personal jurisdiction over defendant where plaintiff served defendant at his New Jersey residence, reasoning that “in-forum service has long provided a basis to exercise personal jurisdiction”
• finding that irreparable injury becomes the “inescapable conclusion” where “Defendant’s use of Plaintiff’s exact Marks creates a clear case of confusion, and that Defendant’s counterfeited products of inferior quality arguably diminish Chanel’s reputation”
• awarding $30,000 per infringement in “prototypical internet case” where internet sale of luxury counterfeit items goods rather than in localized storefront enabled counterfeited goods to be widely disseminated
• finding an award of $30,000 per infringement was sufficient to compensate plaintiff for losses and to deter defendant when infringement was willful and the types of goods bearing counterfeit marks were limited
• multiplying statutory damages by three for the number of plaintiff’s infringed trademark registrations
• “Courts in the Third Circuit consider claims for trademark infringement and for false designation of origin under an identical standard.”
