MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff asks this Court to reconsider its 12/2/25 order [23] dismissing the complaint, see [24]. Plaintiff suggests that the Court's ruling remains inconsistent with NBA Props., Inc. v. HANWJH, 46 F.4th 614 (7th Cir. 2022); not so. That case emphasizes that, for the exercise of personal jurisdiction to comport with "established constitutional limitations," the defendant's actions must be "purposefully directed" a standard satisfied, for example, when a defendant "creates an interactive website and explicitly provides that Illinois residents could purchase its products through that website," "arranged for the sale of its products through third-party websites," "sent written confirmation to the Illinois customers acknowledging their sale and including their Illinois shipping address," and then, "shipped the product to its customers who were in Illinois." NBA Props., 46 F.4th at 624 (citing Curry v. Revolution Laboratories, LLC, 949 F.3d 385, 399 (7th Cir. 2020)). In distinguishing Matlin v. Spin Master Corp., 921 F.3d 701 (7th Cir. 2019), where the exercise of personal jurisdiction did not pass constitutional muster, the court in NBA Props. also emphasized, however, the importance of determining whether the "plaintiff-initiated contact" was done "solely to lure the defendants into Illinois to establish personal jurisdiction over them." 46 F.4th at 625. That is precisely what has transpired here. Plaintiff represents that Defendant's "broader e-commerce activities" establish the requisite minimum contacts; yet the only alleged connection to Illinois is the maintenance of a website accessible here and the one sale to Plaintiff. Because these facts fail to support the exercise of personal jurisdiction over Defendant, the Court denies Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration [24] and strikes the 1/7/26 Notice of Motion date. If Plaintiff can amend its complaint to allege facts supporting the exercise of personal jurisdiction, it may do so by 1/20/26; absent further amendment, the Court will dismiss the case. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff has filed a second amended complaint [18], which names just one Defendant and thus avoids any joinder issues. But the allegations of the amended complaint confirm that Plaintiff seeks to establish personal jurisdiction based solely upon its test buy, see [19] at 2 ("Plaintiff through counsel ordered the infringing product from Defendant's Online Store hosted on the Platform; and confirms that the infringing product shipped to and was received in Chicago, Illinois, payment for the product was made and accepted in U.S. Dollars."), and that remains improper. See, e.g., Walden v. Fiore, 571 U.S. 277, 285 (2014) ("the plaintiff cannot be the only link between the defendant and the forum"); Expeditee LLC v. Entities Listed on Exhibit 1, No. 21 C 6440, 2022 WL 1556381, at *4 (N.D. Ill. May 17, 2022) ("Plaintiff claims that, as part of its preliminary investigation, it purchased infringing products from the Moving Defendants that the Moving Defendants shipped to Chicago. Such sales on their own are insufficient for the purposes of personal jurisdiction, for Plaintiff has not identified evidence of any transactions involving an allegedly counterfeit product between the Moving Defendants and Illinois customers, other than the 'test buys.'"). As a result, the Court dismisses the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction, denies the motion to seal [20], and strikes the 12/3/25 Notice of Motion date. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

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 |
