MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: On June 3, 2025, plaintiff filed a memorandum of law 16 and evidence in support of joinder of the two defendants named in Schedule A 12 to the amended complaint 11. Plaintiff points out that two numbers on the packaging of defendants' accused products are identical. See Mem. 6. Different language surrounding these numbers, however, and other numbers beneath the respective bar codes on the accused products' packaging differ. See id. In addition, the significance of the identical numbers has not been adequately explained on this record. For example, identical numbers may, or may not, indicate that the products came from a common manufacturer, which is generally an insufficient reason to join two sellers as defendants. See Shenzhen Jisu Tech. Co. v. Schedule A Defs., 2025 WL 972866, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 1, 2025) (citing Pathway IP LLC v. Schedule A Defs., 2025 WL 815648, at *4-5 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 13, 2025)); Este Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A Defs., 334 F.R.D. 182, 188 (N.D. Ill. 2020). Moreover, the screenshots attached to plaintiff's amended complaint list a different company name and mailing address (with a different postal code) for each defendant. Compare ECF No. 12-1 at 3, with id. at 21. For these reasons, the court cannot definitively determine whether joinder comports with Rule 20(a)(2) at this juncture, where defendants have not appeared or been served, and no discovery has been taken. Plaintiff may proceed against both defendants on the condition that plaintiff must supplement the record with an explanation of the significance of the identical numbers shown on pages five and six of its memorandum of law 16 dated June 3, 2025. If plaintiff requires discovery to supplement the record, it should so indicate in the joint initial status report due July 2, 2025. See ECF No. 8. Mailed notice 翻译 |
