ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. 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. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/27/2024: Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction [49] is granted as to the remaining defendants. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this action and the motion, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any remaining defendant. By 1/3/25, plaintiff shall submit an updated proposed preliminary injunction order reflecting only the remaining defendants to the Court's proposed order inbox (proposed_order_cummings@ilnd.uscourts.gov). Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Schedule A are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents. The 1/10/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 2/10/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: The Court has reviewed plaintiffs' memorandum in support of joinder 18 and finds that joinder is proper at this preliminary stage pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 20(a)(2). Specifically, plaintiffs have alleged that beyond just infringing the same patent - which alone is insufficient to establish the propriety of joinder, see Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 187 (N.D.Ill. 2020), the defendants are located China or other remote jurisdictions, certain of the defendant stores bear similar layouts using the same text and images, and - most importantly to this Court - the counterfeit products "bear similar irregularities and indicia of being infringing," supporting the inference that the products come from a common manufacturing source. (See Dckt. #5 - Verified Complaint). Further, no defendants will be 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. And, of course, the Court's finding regarding joinder in this case is not dispositive of the propriety of joinder in any other cases before the Court. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 4, plaintiff's ex parte motion for temporary restraining order 14, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery, and plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process 16 are granted. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. The Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this order will also be entered under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motions cited above, plaintiff's filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that their assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods, and there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. The previously set 10/14/24 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 1/10/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). In light of this order, plaintiff's motion for a status hearing 19 is denied as moot. Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge Jeffrey I. Cummings. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 4, plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order 14, and plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process 16 are entered and continued. Upon review of the complaint and the TRO submissions, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of 90 defendants in this case. See, e.g. Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D.Ill. 2020). By 7/19/24, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with a smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 189. Mailed notice 翻译 |
