LG Electronics, Inc. v. Advance Creative Computer Corp.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

In its first amended complaint, Plaintiff LG Electronics, Inc. (LGE) alleged that Defendant Advance Creative Computer Corp. (ACC) and its wholly owned subsidiary DTK Computer, Inc. (DTK) infringed six of Plaintiffs’ patents. Default was entered against ACC on October 11, 2001 and against DTK on November 13, 2001. Plaintiff filed a motion for default judgment on December 17, 2001. That motion was referred to a magistrate judge for a report and recommendation.

On April 12, 2002, the magistrate judge filed a Report and Recommendation on Plaintiffs Motion for Default Judgment (Report). The Report recommended enjoining Defendants from future infringement of Plaintiffs patents, but did not identify specific ACC and DTK products in the recommended injunction. In addition, the magistrate judge held that Plaintiff had not provided sufficient evidence to justify its request for $12,060,000 in damages. On April 26, 2002 Plaintiff objected to the Report and moved for an award of damages against defaulting Defendants and to enjoin Defendants from infringing specific products.
