MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: The Court has reviewed plaintiff's memorandum in support of joinder of 71 defendants 16. Plaintiff argues that defendants are appropriately joined in this case because, among other reasons, they use similar registration patterns, share common design elements, accept similar payment methods, use similar advertising methods, and sell products sharing similar irregularities. Thus, plaintiff maintains that its allegations indicate that defendants work in active concert to sell unauthorized products in the same series of transactions or occurrences, which, according to plaintiff, satisfies the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20. The Court disagrees that defendants here share a "logical relationship" where there is "substantial evidentiary overlap in the facts" to support joinder. Este Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 185 (N.D. Ill. 2020) (Chang, J.). Although defendants use similar language and sell similar products, the storefronts and products identified in plaintiff's sealed exhibit to the temporary restraining order are distinguishable. The Court sees sufficient differences, such as the types of products sold (varying from stuffed animals to blankets to mugs to posters), the different characters featured on the products, and the wide range of prices, which cut against plaintiff's assertion that all 71 joined defendants are working together or sharing information. The Court has noticed the overwhelming influx of Schedule A cases within the district. While it recognizes the efficiency that consolidation of defendants may permit, the Court finds that joining distinct defendants in one case does not satisfy the requirements of the Federal Rules, for in these sorts of copyright cases, "one defendant's alleged infringement does not 'arise out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences' as another defendant's unrelated infringement." Id. at 187 (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)). Thus, the Court finds that joinder is impermissible here. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint by August 25, 2023 reducing the number of defendants in accordance with the principles outlined above. The Court reserves ruling on the temporary restraining order 9 and electronic service of process 12 until the Rule 20 deficiency is cured. The Court grants plaintiff's motion to file under seal 3. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

08/04/2023
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: Upon review of the Complaint, the Court questions whether joinder of 71 defendants is appropriate in this case. See, e.g. Estee Lauder Cometics Ltd. v. Schedule A, Case No. 19-cv-7878, 2020 WL 433870 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 27, 2020) (Chang, J.). Plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 8/18/2023 in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. In addition, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum. Presentment hearing set for 8/9/2023 is stricken. Mailed notice. 翻译 |
