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 Edmond E. Chang: On review of Amended Schedule A, R. 15-1, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 89 Defendants. The Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, Case No. 19-cv-7878, 2020 WL 433870 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 27, 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 10/28/2024. In lieu of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline, the Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with (a) one defendant or (b) a subset of the defendants along with a memo explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a tracking status hearing is set for 11/08/2024 at 8:30 a.m. Emailed notice 翻译 |

10/01/2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: Upon review of the plaintiff's memorandum in support of its renewed motion for a temporary restraining order 15, the Court recommends to the Executive Committee that this case be returned to the calendar of Judge Chang pursuant to Local Rule 40.3(b)(2). Although the civil cover sheet 5 indicates that this is not a previously dismissed case, the plaintiff's memorandum candidly acknowledges that the defendants in this suit were all named in a previously filed action (1:24-cv-05527) which the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed. Pursuant to LR 40.3(b)(2), this action should therefore have been directly assigned to Judge Chang. The refiling of this case with a misrepresentation on the civil cover sheet 5, perhaps to secure the assignment of a different judge, is forum shopping and should not be permitted under the rules of this Court. 翻译 |

09/03/2024
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: The plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 9 is denied without prejudice for several reasons. First, the Court notes that not all screenshots provided in support of the motion contain date and time information, and not all screenshots indicate that the seller is capable of shipping to Illinois. Page 86 of docket entry [11-4], for example, indicates that the product is "[c]urrently unavailable." To obtain injunctive relief, the plaintiff must file an updated declaration with the requisite date, time, and shipping information for each seller. Second, under ABC Corp. I v. Schedule A, the Court is "required to conduct the ordinary observer test through the lens of the prior art" in deciding whether to grant preliminary injunctive relief in a design-patent infringement action. 52 F.4th 934, 942-43. Accordingly, to obtain injunctive relief based on a design patent, the plaintiff must submit documents that (1) specify which design patent, if any, each defendant is accused of infringing, (2) analyze which ornamental components are shared between the accused product and the asserted design patent, and (3) analyze which of those shared features are not present in the prior art. This requires a product-by-product analysis. In other words, the plaintiff must provide, for each of the accused defendants' allegedly infringing products, an analysis of which components are shared or not shared with specified design patents as well as with the prior art. Third, the plaintiff is required to supplement its motion with a listing of all prior online trademark, copyright, or patent infringement cases (also known as "Schedule A" cases) filed in any court in the United States in which it was a plaintiff, a listing of any of the defendants included in the Schedule A in this case that the plaintiff has previously named as a defendant in any prior complaint or Schedule A case, and a certification that the plaintiff has not used any of the screenshot evidence supplied in support or its motion (or renewed motion) in any prior proceeding. Fourth, it is not clear that the plaintiff is entitled to an asset restraint in this suit. ABC Prods. v. Schedule A, No. 23-cv-04131, 2024 WL 1549784, at *6 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 9, 2024) (suit for patent infringement "does not provide for the equitable relief of accounting and profits"); see also Cengage Learning, Inc. v. Doe 1, No. 18-cv-00403, 2018 WL 2244461, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 17, 2018) (complaint must seek equitable relief "in relation to specific funds" (quotation marks omitted)). The plaintiff may file a renewed motion correcting these issues and/or adjusting the relief sought by 9/27/24. Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: Although the plaintiff has not filed a separate motion to seal, the Court finds it appropriate to permit the exhibits to the complaint 2 3 4, provisionally under seal pending order, to remain under seal for the time being. The Court finds it inappropriate, however, for the plaintiff to proceed anonymously. The Seventh Circuit heavily disfavors anonymous, pseudonymous, or "no-name" litigation and requires the plaintiff to demonstrate "exceptional circumstances" that justify a refusal to self-identify. Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016). "[B]rand owners who seek relief against alleged counterfeiters may be frustrated by the stringent requirements for pseudonymous litigation. But in the absence of a change in binding Seventh Circuit caselaw, changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or the creation of an alternative legislative remedy, the current legal framework does not permit pseudonymity without a demonstration of circumstances more exceptional than those presented" in a typical "Schedule A" online counterfeiting case. XYZ Corp. v. Schedule A, No. 21-cv-06471, 2022 WL 180151, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022); see also XYZ Corp. v. Schedule A, No. 20-cv-06610, 2020 WL 6681360, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 12, 2020) (noting that in a case with an anonymous plaintiff suing a sealed schedule A, "[t]he public has no earthly idea who is suing whom," and striking the complaint because the plaintiff attempted to proceed anonymously without "request[ing] leave of Court, let alone establish[ing] that 'exceptional circumstances' justify shielding its identity"). The plaintiff has not requested leave of court to proceed anonymously, and its complaint identifies circumstances that are common to all "Schedule A" cases, meaning that the circumstances are, by definition, not exceptional. Accordingly, the plaintiff is directed to file an amended, non-anonymous complaint 1 and to change the pseudonym used on the case caption on CM/ECF to the plaintiff's true identity by 8/30/2024.
