MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: This is a "Schedule A" case, which is a type of lawsuit typically filed against a group of sellers whose assumed names are listed on an attachment to the complaint, usually called "Schedule A." Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated, 2021 WL 308882, at *1 (N.D. Ill. January 30, 2021). Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for default judgment as to certain Defendants. R. 70, Mot. Default; R. 71, Memo. Default. The Court denies the motion 70 without prejudice for the following reasons. First, Plaintiff asserts it is entitled to a reasonable royalty of $10,000 pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284. In support of the $10,000 licensing fee, Plaintiff explains that, "[d]ue to the inescapable price erosion and lost sales that would arise from licensing Plaintiff's Patent Design, if forced to accept a licensing agreement under the 'willing licensor-willing licensee' standard, Plaintiff would demand a licensing fee of no less than $10,000.00 per Defendant in exchange for a license for Plaintiff's Patent Design, in addition to a royalty for any sales above $10,000.00 and the licensee being responsible for all transaction costs associated with negotiation of the licensing and royalty fees, such as drafting costs, due diligence, and attorneys' fee." Memo. Default at 10-12. Plaintiff does not support this assertion with any evidence. Any renewed motion should include evidence, in the form of a declaration or otherwise, supporting the hypothetical licensing fee. Second, the proposed order for default that Plaintiff sent to the Court's proposed order inbox awards damages "equal to a reasonable royalty from each of the Defaulting Defendants in the amount of $10,000.00 plus 10% of all infringing sales." Proposed Order para. 3. The motion itself does not request, let alone explain the calculation of the 10% of defaulting Defendants' sales of unauthorized products. Additionally, based on the language in the proposed order, it appears that Plaintiff is including all sales by the Defaulting Defendants, rather than sales by each Defaulting Defendant. The Federal Circuit has "consistently maintained that a reasonable royalty analysis requires a court to hypothesize, not to speculate. The trial court must carefully tie proof of damages to the claimed invention's footprint in the market place. A damages theory must be based on sound economic and factual predicates." LaserDynamics, Inc. v. Quanta Computer, Inc., 694 F.3d 51, 67 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (cleaned up). The Court does not see how 10% of all infringing sales of all Defaulting Defendants constitutes a "sound. factual predicate[ ]" for the calculation of a reasonable royalty for each Defaulting Defendant. Any renewed default motion must either include authority supporting its calculation, or ties the requested reasonable royalty to the actual sales of each specific Defendant. If Plaintiff does not have such information about any Defendant, the Court will award the supported amount of a licensing fee. Finally, in its motion, Plaintiff requests default judgment against some, but not all, defendants. The proposed order also includes language returning the bond; however, the Court will only return the bond once the case has been terminated as to all defendants. Any renewed motion should indicate which, if any, defendants remain in the case, and the status of proceedings against those defendants. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: A number of motions and filings are pending before the Court, which the Court addresses as follows. First, Magistrate Judge Gilbert's Report and Recommendation (R&R) regarding Plaintiff's opposed motion for entry of preliminary injunction is before the Court. R. 60, R&R. In his R&R, Judge Gilbert recommended that the Court deny Plaintiffs' motion for Preliminary Injunction in part as moot as to the settling defendants identified by Plaintiff, see 50, 52. R&R at 2-3. Additionally, Judge Gilbert found that Plaintiff had "failed to meet its burden to show to the validity of the '412 Patent and therefore, in the context of this referral of the opposed Motion, recommends that Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction be denied 'in regard to the duties [Plaintiff's proposed injunction] imposes on eBay, which would include the requirement that eBay freeze the funds in the eBay Sellers' accounts' which is how eBay characterizes the relief it has standing as a non-party to oppose." Id. at 3, 25. Judge Gilbert clarified that, although the analysis in the R&R "could have implications for Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction as to entities named as defendants whether they have appeared in this case or not," his "recommendation herein applies only to the matter referred to me which is Plaintiff's Motion to the extent of any opposition, and the only currently existing opposition was filed by eBay." Id. at 60. The Court notes that Judge Gilbert allowed Plaintiff to file objections to the Report and Recommendation by 12/9/2025 but that Plaintiff did not file any objections. Instead, on 12/8/2025, Plaintiff filed an agreed motion for entry of dismissal order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2) 61, in which Plaintiff indicated that it had reached a settlement agreement with eBay Inc. and therefore sought to dismiss its claims against the Defendants listed in Exhibit 1, whose platforms are eBay. For the reasons stated in the motion, the Court grants the agreed motion for entry of dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a)(2) 61. The defendants listed in exhibit 1 to the motion [61-1] are dismissed without prejudice. Therefore, given the Defendants that are the subject to the opposition to Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction have been dismissed, Plaintiff's request for injunctive relief against them is moot. Since Judge Gilbert's R&R was limited to recommending that the preliminary injunction be denied "in regard to the duties [Plaintiff's proposed injunction] imposes on eBay," the Court finds that the R&R 60 is moot and may be terminated as pending on the docket. Because the R&R has been mooted, the Court need not reach whether it agrees with the R&R. Given that a number of Defendants have not appeared or opposed the preliminary injunction, those Defendants-alleged infringers-therefore have not challenged the validity of the patent. Therefore, here, Plaintiff, the "patentee move[d] for a preliminary injunction and the alleged infringer[s did] not challenge validity, [so] the very existence of the patent with its concomitant presumption of validity satisfies the patentee's burden of showing a likelihood of success on the validity issue." Titan Tire Corp. v. Case New Holland, Inc., 566 F.3d 1372, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2009). Accordingly, in the face of no opposition from any Defendant but eBay, Inc., the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 25. The Court directs Plaintiff to send an updated proposed order on the motion for preliminary injunction that includes an exhibit with only the remaining Defendants (accounting for the notices/motion for voluntary dismissal and the Court's order granting a number of Defendants' motion to dismiss 64). Mailed notice. 翻译 |

The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION: The Court recommends that Plaintiff's opposed motion for preliminary injunction be denied for the reasons discussed in this Report and Recommendation "in regard to the duties [Plaintiff's proposed injunction] imposes on eBay, which would include the requirement that eBay freeze the funds in the eBay Sellers' accounts" which is how eBay characterizes the relief it has standing as a non-party to oppose. See [ECF No. 31] at 4. In accordance with Rule 72(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the parties are advised that "[w]ithin 14 days after being served with a copy of [the report and recommendation], a party may serve and file specific written objections to the proposed findings and recommendation. A party may respond to another party's objections within 14 days after being served with a copy." See also 28 U.S.C § 636(b)(1)(C). Signed by the Honorable Jeffrey T.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: Before the Court is Defendants AbleSupplies, Sofilee-eCommerce answer to Plaintiff's amended complaint 49. In their answer, Defendants inform the Court that they are "dropshippers," that did not produce any allegedly infringing products nor did Defendants have any sales of the product. The Court notifies Defendants, that under Seventy Circuit precedent, the Court cannot consider any motion or filing by a corporate party that is not represented by counsel. See Scandia Down Corp. v. Euroquilt, Inc., 772 F. 2d 1423, 1427 (7th Cir. 1985) ("A corporation must appear by counsel, or not at all."). However, an exception exists for sole proprietorships. See United States v. Hagerman, 545 F.3d 579, 581 (7th Cir. 2008) (internal citations omitted) ("A sole proprietorship may litigate pro se, because it has no legal identity separate from the proprietor himself."). If Defendants are sole proprietorships, they should file declarations and any other verifying evidence on the docket. Without weighing in on the merits of this case or any potential motion to dismiss, the Court directs Plaintiff, however, to consider the information in Defendants' filing 49 and determine whether, in this "Schedule A case," non-foreign defendants that have not sold any infringing products are the type of Defendants that they want to pursue their case against.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert: Plaintiff's opposed Motion for Preliminary Injunction 25 was referred to this Court after a brief in opposition to that Motion was filed by third-party defendant eBay, Inc. 31 32. Certain additional defendants subsequently also filed an opposition to the Motion for Preliminary Injunction 41. Plaintiff has now filed a Notice of Settlement and Dismissal Under Rule 41(a)(1) as to Certain Defendants in which Plaintiff states it has settled "with the Defendants who filed the Response to Opposition to Preliminary Injunction [Dkt. 41]" 50. The Court notes Plaintiff has also filed notices of settlement with certain other defendants 35 37 45 51. Accordingly, the Court recommends that the District Judge deny Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction in part as moot as to those settling defendants identified by Plaintiff. See 35 37 41 45 51. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). In light of these settlements, if Plaintiff no longer intends to pursue the Motion for Preliminary Injunction as to any remaining defendants, Plaintiff should filed a notice to that effect as soon as possible and no later than by 10/28/2024. In addition, Plaintiff's Reply in support of its Motion for Preliminary Injunction and in response to third-party defendant eBay, Inc.'s opposition was to have been filed by 10/8/2024 32. Plaintiff has not filed any Reply. Plaintiff is given until 10/28/2024 to file any Reply in response to third-party defendant eBay, Inc.'s opposition. If Plaintiff does not file any Reply by that date, the Court will deem any arguments in opposition to eBay, Inc.'s response to be waived and will consider eBay, Inc.'s response to be unopposed.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court hereby grants Plaintiff's Motion to Extend the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) 17. The Court notes, however, that the motion assumes that the TRO went into effect on 7/30/2024 and expires on 8/13/2024. As stated in paragraph 9 of the TRO 14, because Plaintiff provided the required security 15, the TRO went into effect on 8/2/2024 and expires on 8/16/2024. Therefore, by granting Plaintiff's request for a 14-day extension of the TRO, the TRO 14 shall now expire on 8/30/2024 at 6:00 p.m. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motions, the Court grants Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order and for expedited discovery 9, and motion for electronic service of process 12. Provided that Plaintiff provides the security described in paragraph 7 of the temporary restraining order, the temporary restraining order shall become effective on 8/2/2024 at 6:00 p.m. and shall expire in fourteen (14) days from the effective date. The Court finds that joinder of the "Schedule A" Defendants is proper at this preliminary stage. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A). The Court notes that no Defendants are prejudiced by permitting joinder at this juncture. See Bose Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 334 F.R.D. 511, 517 (N.D. Ill. 2020). To the extent any defendant appears and objects to joinder, the Court will revisit the issue and is free to sever certain defendants from the case under Rule 21 at that time. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: This case has been reassigned to this Court 5. Plaintiff has filed what is titled a "sealed motion" on the docket, but which is actually a sealed version of the Complaint 2. As an initial matter, in order to proceed anonymously and/or for any filings to be sealed on the docket, Plaintiff must file a motion for leave to do so. Moreover, the Seventh Circuit has "repeatedly voiced [its] disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate 'exceptional circumstances' that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Vill. of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 37677 (7th Cir. 2016) (citation omitted); see also Doe v. Smith, 429 F.3d 706, 710 (7th Cir. 2005) ("[T]his circuit's decisions. disfavor anonymous litigation."); Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wis., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir. 1997) ("Identifying the parties to the proceeding is an important dimension of publicness. The people have a right to know who is using their courts."). The Court cannot see how this Schedule A plaintiff meets the "exceptional circumstances" requirement as outlined by the Seventh Circuit. Even so, "[t]o permit pseudonymity/anonymity here, while many other Schedule A plaintiffs proceed under their actual names, would threaten to allow the exception of 'exceptional circumstances' to swallow the general rule barring pseudonymity." XYZ Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2022 WL 180151, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022). The presently sealed document 2 will, however, remain under provisional seal until further order to permit Plaintiff the opportunity to decide how it wishes to proceed with this case. On or before 6/27/2024, Plaintiff must either file an amended complaint that lists Plaintiff's true name or file a notice of dismissal. If Plaintiff files an amended complaint, Plaintiff must file a motion for leave to file the complaint (and any other forthcoming documents) under seal. The Court instructs the Clerk to terminate the "sealed motion" 2 as a motion. Mailed notice. 翻译 |
