U.S. v. Morrison 268
Brzonkala v. Morrison 268
Name of case: Gucci America, Inc. v. Wang Huoqing (2011)
Court it was decided in: The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
Facts: Gucci America, Inc. is a NY corporation headquartered in NYC. Gucci produces and distributes high quality luxury goods such as footwear, belts, sunglasses, handbags, and wallets. They sell those items worldwide. Gucci uses twenty-one federally recorded trademarks. Gucci also has boutiques in California. Wang Huoqing who is a resident of Republic of China, operates many websites. It turned out that Wang was selling some of Gucci’s products. Gucci hired a private investigator in San Jose, CA, to buy products from the website. The investigator buys items from the website and receives them. Later on, they opened up a trademark infringement lawsuit against Wang. The court took place at the U.S District Court for the Northern District of California. They were seeking damages and injunctions to prevent further infringement. Wang notified via mail to show up on his case; however, he failed to appeal. Still, court had to determine whether it had personal jurisdiction over Wang based on the Internet sales.
Legal Question: Is the filed trademark infringement lawsuit against Wang Huoqing seeking damages and an injunction to prevent further infringement valid? Did Gucci’s claim determined whether it had personal jurisdiction over Wang Huoqing based on the Internet sales?
Decision: The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California decided that it had personal influence over the overseas offender, Wang. The court entered a default decision against Wang and granted Gucci an injunction.
