MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff seeks to sue 28 separate defendants in this single patent infringement suit. See [14]. Parties accused of patent infringement "may be joined in one action as defendants. only if-- (1) any right to relief is asserted against the parties jointly, severally, or in the alternative with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences relating to the making, using, importing into the United States, offering for sale, or selling of the same accused product or process; and (2) questions of fact common to all defendants or counterclaim defendants will arise in the action." Id. § 299(a). The statute specifically provides that "accused infringers may not be joined in one action as defendants. based solely on allegations that they each have infringed the patent or patents in suit." Id. § 299(b). Plaintiff's complaint, which lumps all Defendants together, alleges that "each infringing product features a circuit board, a fan in the same housing as the circuit board and battery, thereby infringing Plaintiff's Patent in the same manner." [14] 24. But this allegation establishes only that each Defendant may be infringing the patent in suit, which remains insufficient. Plaintiff also alleges that the "Online Stores operating under the Seller Aliases share identifiers establishing that a logical relationship exists between them, and that Defendants' infringing operation arises out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." Id. at 26. This allegation remains conclusory. What's more, the conclusion Plaintiff seeks to draw does not necessarily follow from the alleged fact; it is equally possible that each online retailer set up shop in the same or similar manner. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 188-89 (N.D. Ill. 2020). The Court accordingly finds that Plaintiff may not proceed on the current complaint [14] and dismisses it without prejudice. If Plaintiff can, consistent with its obligations under Rule 11, amend its complaint to support the joinder of the identified defendants in this single action, it may do so by 11/28/25. If Plaintiff elects to amend its complaint, it must also file a supplemental report confirming whether it has previously named any of the 28 defendants identified in this case in a prior case asserting infringement of the same patent. See Julie Stiebritz v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:25-cv-03459, at [19] (N.D. Ill. Apr. 9, 2025) (dismissing the case because plaintiff previously named defendants in a prior case and dismissed them to avoid an unfavorable joinder ruling, which constitutes forum shopping). In any amended complaint, Plaintiff should also consider its allegations relating to personal jurisdiction as to each Defendant; the mere maintenance of a website accessible in Illinois remains insufficient to confer personal jurisdiction. See, e.g., Am. Bridal & Prom Indus. Ass'n, Inc. v. The Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 192 F. Supp. 3d 924, 93435 (N.D. Ill. 2016) (simply alleging the existence of purported counterfeiting via an interactive website is not enough, by itself, to confer personal jurisdiction); Advanced Tactical Ordnance Sys., LLC v. Real Action Paintball, Inc., 751 F.3d 796, 803 (7th Cir. 2014) ("Having an interactive website. should not open a defendant up to personal jurisdiction in every spot on the planet where that interactive website is accessible."); Rubik's Brand, Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 20-CV-5338, 2021 WL 825668, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 4, 2021) (screenshot evidence showing that an order could be placed by an Illinoisan, "amounts to nothing more than maintaining an interactive website that is accessible in Illinois," and "that alone cannot confer personal jurisdiction."). If Plaintiff declines to amend, the Court will dismiss this case. In light of the dismissal of the complaint, the Court denies Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery [15]. Additionally, in light of the amended complaint, the Court denies as moot Plaintiff's motions for leave to seal [4] and for leave to proceed via a pseudonym [5]. The 11/12/25 Notice of Motion date is stricken. Mailed notice. 翻译 |
