The United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) duly and lawfully issued the Asserted Patents. 5. Nugget Comfort is the owner of the Asserted Patents and any rights granted through the Asserted Patents. 6. The claims alleged by Nugget Comfort in the present lawsuit arise from Galaxy Home’s alleged manufacture, distribution to at least MoonPod.co, promotion, advertisement, offering for sale, and/or sale of its children’s play furniture, specifically the Tumblehouse Play Circle, the design of which Nugget Comfort has alleged infringes upon the Asserted Patents. 7. Galaxy Home, its officers, agents, servants, attorneys, and employees and any other persons who are in active concert or participation with any of them, have recognized the validity of the Asserted Patents and admitted to infringement of the Asserted Patents and are thus permanently restrained and enjoined from infringing upon the Asserted Patents, either directly or indirectly in any manner, including, but not limited to, the following: a. making, importing, promoting, offering, or exposing for sale, or selling the Tumblehouse Play Circle, models, or prototypes thereof, as well as any other products with designs substantially the same overall appearance as the claimed design of the Asserted Patents until after the expiration date of the Asserted Patents; b. assisting, aiding or attempting to assist or aid any other person or entity, including distributors or resellers (e.g., Galaxy Relaxation LLC d/b/a Moonpod.co), in performing any of the prohibited activities referred to in Paragraphs 7(a) above. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees associated with this action. 9. The execution of this Final Consent Judgment shall serve to bind and obligate the parties hereto. This Order shall constitute a final resolution of this matter and the case shall be dismissed, with prejudice, by Nugget Comfort. However, dismissal with prejudice of this action shall not have a preclusive effect on those who are not a party to this action, all claims against whom Nugget Comfort expressly reserves. 10. The jurisdiction of this Court is retained for the purpose of making any further orders necessary or proper from the construction or modification of this Final Consent Judgment, the enforcement thereof and the punishment of any violation thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, this action is fully resolved with prejudice.”
