Brand introduction:

The Eagles are a famous American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. The Eagles are one of the world’s best-selling bands, having sold more than 200 million records worldwide.

In 2013, the widespread fame and popularity of the Eagles led to the creation of a two-part documentary, titled History of the Eagles, which describes the history of the Eagles, their meteoric rise to success, and the profound influence they have had on rock & roll and the music industry.

The Eagles’ music retains an appeal that transcends both generation and genre, cementing the band’s role as enduring musical icons and creating consistent demand for Eagles branded products.

Products sold under the Eagles brand include apparel and other merchandise, such as key chains, guitar picks, and posters.

Eagles branded products are distributed and sold to consumers throughout the United States, including in Illinois, through various affiliates and through the official eagles.com website.

Plaintiff has also registered its trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Eagles products often include at least one of Plaintiff’s registered trademarks. Often several of Plaintiff’s marks are displayed on a single Eagles product. Plaintiff uses its trademarks in connection with the marketing of the Eagles products, including the
following marks which are collectively referred to as the “EAGLES Trademarks.”

It is mainly the word mark that causes infringement, and both Eagles and HOTEL CALIFORNIA have been registered:

In recent years, Plaintiff has identified many fully interactive, e-commerce stores offering counterfeit Eagles products on online marketplace platforms such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Alibaba, Wish.com, Etsy, Walmart, and DHgate, including the e-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases.
