SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 01/28/2025. Emailed notice 翻译 |

01/28/2025
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff's motion 18 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. The TRO will run through 02/11/2025. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, trademark owners need only "prove defendant's sales only; defendant must prove all elements of costs or deduction claimed." 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendants, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The tracking status hearing of 01/31/2025 is reset to 02/14/2025 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion), if appropriate, no later than 02/07/2025. The Plaintiff shall also file a status report on 02/07/2025. Plaintiff's motion for excess pages 17 is granted. Emailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the joinder filings, R. 13, 14, 15, the joinder inquiry is satisfied as to the 2 Defendants on Amended Schedule A.

If the Plaintiff wishes to file a TRO motion, then the Plaintiff shall do so by 01/27/2025 (and email an MS Word version of the proposed order). Otherwise, the Plaintiff shall file a status report on 01/27/2025. The tracking status hearing of 01/17/2025 is reset 01/31/2025 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Emailed notice 翻译 |

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:(1.) The motion 7 to seal is granted in light of the goal of asset restraint. (2.) But on review of the complaint and the TRO brief, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 185 Defendants. Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 18789 (N.D. Ill. 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 01/08/2025. 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 01/17/2025 at 8:30 a.m. Mailed notice 翻译 |
