Trademark case: Spectrum Laboratories, L.L.C. v. URZ Trendz, L.L.C., USA

The Fifth Circuit found that the computation of damages was more than ministerial or mechanical.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit dismissed URZ Trendz, L.L.C.’s appeal of default judgment where the district court had not yet quantified damages for lack of jurisdiction. The Fifth Circuit found that the default judgment was not a final order under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 because the district court had not yet quantified the damages owed to the trademark owner (Spectrum Laboratories, L.L.C. v. URZ Trendz, L.L.C., No. 25-20572 (5th Cir. Jul. 15, 2026)).
