FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 4/1/25. 翻译 |
| 70 |
04/01/2025
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's renewed motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 74 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by Plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, Plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of Plaintiff's intellectual property irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. Because this infringement was willful and considering the value of Plaintiff's brand, the price-point of the infringing products, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $5,000 per Defaulting Defendant is an appropriate award of statutory damages against each remaining defendant. Enter Final Judgment Order, as modified by the Court. No appearance is required on 4/3/25. Civil case terminated. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 74 against the remaining defendants identified in Amended Schedule A 56. All remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default against all defendants on Amended Schedule A is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment by the defaulted Defendants must be filed on or before 3/27/25. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining affected Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. The Court re-sets the hearing on plaintiff's motion from 3/17/25 to 4/3/25 at 9:30 a.m. On or before 3/27/25, plaintiff is directed to supplement its motion for default judgment with additional evidence that will permit the Court to make more individualized assessments of damages per defendant. Such evidence would include, but not be limited to, each defendant's sales figures, evidence of lost profits, and the length of time that each defendant storefront sold the infringing products. See generally Chi-Boy Music v. Charlie Club, Inc., 930 F.2d 1224, 1229 (7th Cir. 1991). 翻译 |

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 1/27/25. 翻译 |
| 55 |
01/27/2025
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 59, which the Court now considers unopposed because no Defendant filed a notice of objection by the 1/24/25 deadline or appeared at the hearing. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk that 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 48, 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 63 65 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter Preliminary Injunction order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Amended Schedule A 34 are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously sealed documents. Summons were executed on 1/16/25 and Defendants' responses to the complaint are due by 2/6/25 63. By 3/10/25, Plaintiff is ordered to file any motions for entry of default pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a). If there are any remaining defendants against whom default and default judgment are not being sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file by the same date a status report identifying each defendant against whom this case is proceeding and state whether the parties anticipate a settlement or further litigation. No appearance is required on 1/28/25. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction 59, which the Court takes under advisement. All remaining defendants are advised that the Court will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant files a notice of objection by 1/24/25. Plaintiff must serve a copy of this minute order upon all remaining defendants within one business day of its entry upon the docket and promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders initially entering the TRO, and then extending the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. The Court resets the hearing on plaintiff's motion to 1/28/25 at 9:30 a.m. 翻译 |

The TRO is extended to 1/21/25 for the reasons stated in the order granting the initial TRO 48, 49. Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." H-D Mich., LLC v.

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 |

SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 12/17/24. 翻译 |
| 36 |
12/17/2024
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Plaintiff's motion to file a second amended complaint 41 is granted. Plaintiff's renewed ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order 43 is also granted, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery. Enter order. Plaintiff's written submission establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping the infringement, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits, the infringement is ongoing, the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest because infringement interferes with the plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property. Those rights cannot be fully compensated by money damages. There is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective, perhaps the most effective, way to communicate with defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the court will take a fresh look at the asset freeze, joinder, electronic service, and personal jurisdiction. The court finds that security in the amount of $1,000 per defendant (a total of $23,000) is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Plaintiff's originally filed ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order 11 is stricken as moot. No appearance is required on 12/19/24. 翻译 |

10/11/2024
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal 7 and to exceed page limitation 10 is granted. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of 250 defendants. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 11/11/24, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. Plaintiff may also want to review the Court's order in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28, where the Court expressed its joinder-related concerns in cases of this size and type and also discussed its expectation that plaintiffs in such cases assist the Court in locating those portions of the record that support a plaintiff's joinder-related assertions. To put a finer point on it: In a case like this, where plaintiff has filed well over 1,000 pages of supporting materials [e.g., Dkt. 13-28], the Court expects the plaintiff to point it to the specific pages within those materials that support joinder-related assertions. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 11/11/24 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. No appearance is required on 10/15/24. 翻译 |
