MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff seeks to sue 112 separately identified Defendants in this single trademark and copyright infringement suit. Joinder of multiple defendants in a single infringement action remains appropriate only if the claims against the Defendants are asserted "with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences," and a common question of law or fact exists as to all Defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)-(B). In this regard, Plaintiff alleges that "E-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases share unique identifiers, establishing a logical relationship between them and that Defendants' counterfeiting operation arises out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." [1] at paragraph 3. Plaintiff also alleges that, even though Defendants "operate under multiple fictitious aliases, the e-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases often share unique identifiers such as templates with common design elements that intentionally omit any contact information or other information for identifying Defendants or other seller aliases they operate or use. E-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases include other notable common features, such as use of the same registration patterns, accepted payment methods, check-out methods, keywords, advertising tactics, similarities in price and quantities, the same incorrect grammar and misspellings, and/or the use of the same text and images. Additionally, Unauthorized Products for sale by the Seller Aliases bear similar irregularities and indicia of being counterfeit to one another, suggesting that the Unauthorized Products were manufactured by and come from a common source and that Defendants are interrelated." Id. at paragraph 33. Finally, Plaintiff alleges that "Defendants are working in active concert to knowingly and willfully manufacture, import, distribute, offer for sale, and sell Unauthorized Products in the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." Id. at paragraph 36. For the most part, these allegations are conclusory, and the Court need not accept them. Additionally, the allegations are belied by the screenshot evidence submitted along with Plaintiff's TRO motion, which shows a variety of images, products, and photos. See, e.g., [15-1] at 21 (pink Barbie phone case); [15-1] at 52 (beige wooden miniature dollhouse); [15-1] at 248 (handmade Barbie and Hello Kitty press on nails); [15-2] at 126 (miniature glass encased dollhouse with music box); [15-2] at 47 (Jeep armrest trim). Although some of the websites do appear to be using the same stock images, see, e.g., [15-2] at 56, 68, 86, 92, 95, 126, the majority do not use common photos and remain otherwise unremarkable in their appearances. The submissions thus provide no factual basis to find that these various sellers and goods remain interrelated such that joinder in this single action is appropriate. To the extent Plaintiff can, consistent with its obligations under Rule 11, amend its complaint to allege facts to support joinder, it may do so by 10/30/24. If Plaintiff fails to comply, the Court will dismiss this case. The Court dismisses without prejudice the complaint [1], denies without prejudice all pending motions [3], [11], [16] and strikes the 10/2/24 Notice of Motion date. Mailed notice 翻译 |
