MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motions for electronic service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) [10] and a TRO and other relief [11] are denied without prejudice, and the motion hearing set for 3/12/26 [12] is stricken. As to electronic service, Plaintiff seeks authorization to effectuate service of process by email and electronic publication but has not yet shown that it has a reliable email address at which it may reach Defendant. Any renewed motion must include these details. As to the TRO and related relief, Plaintiff has not come close to meeting the exacting standards of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b) to warrant such ex parte relief. At a minimum, the Court finds that the generic copy-and-paste declarations fall far short of providing "specific facts" to "clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage will result," and also fail to satisfy the certification requirement. More troubling, the declaration from Plaintiff's counsel appears to concern a different case or at least lacks proofreading, as counsel repeatedly refers to "Defendants" and asserts that "Defendants are using without authorization Plaintiff's copyrighted Alien Costume Sculpture," although this matter is a patent infringement case against one defendant about an HVAC cord adaptor. For these reasons, Plaintiff's request for extraordinary relief in the form of a TRO is denied. See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A., No. 25 C 2937, 794 F. Supp. 3d 543, 548-551 (N.D. Ill. 2025) (Kness, J.) ("Given that any irreparable harm wrought by infringement can, as with more traditional forms of IP litigation, be addressed through preliminary injunctive relief following an adversarial proceeding, the use of Rule 65(b) to ensure an unimpeded path to a prejudgment asset restraint is unsound."). Plaintiff may be allowed to seek discovery to obtain reliable contact information for Defendant and, eventually, to assist with identifying Defendant's payment accounts, but any such requests must be presented in separate motions. A status report regarding next steps is due by 4/10/26, if other appropriate relief has not been sought by that date. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Upon review of the patent infringement complaint and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all 18 defendants under 35 U.S.C. § 299. See Tang v. P'ships & Unincorporated Assocs. Identified on Schedule A, No. 23 C 4587, 2024 WL 68332, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 4, 2024) ("[A]ccused infringers may not be joined in one action as defendant. based solely on allegations that they each have infringed the patent or patents in suit." (quoting 35 U.S.C. § 299(b))). Indeed, Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about coordinated between among 18 defendants without any details whatsoever, which arguably violates the requirements of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Accordingly, by 2/6/26, Plaintiff must file either a memorandum explaining why joinder is proper or an amended complaint specifically naming and identifying each defendant being sued and setting forth with more than conclusory statements the alleged infringing activity. Failure to do so will result in the current complaint being dismissed without prejudice and this case being closed. Furthermore, Plaintiff has not established good cause under Local Rule 26.2 or Seventh Circuit precedent to justify sealing the names of defendants or documents pertaining to alleged infringing activity. "Secrecy makes little sense if the goal of the litigation is to protect rightholders' IP interests by obtaining an injunction against defendants' sales of infringing or counterfeit goods." See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 25 C 2937, 2025 WL 2299593 at *7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025) (Kness, J.). More importantly, this presumption of sealing runs counter to the well-established authority of this Circuit holding that "[m]any a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case. be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing." See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000). For those reasons, the motion for leave to file under seal [5] is denied. The Court notes that Plaintiff's motion was not accompanied by the required notice of presentment. Counsel is reminded to review and comply with all court procedures. Future non-compliant motions will be summarily stricken. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Upon review of the patent infringement complaint and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all 18 defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20. See Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A,No. 24 C 1566, 2024 WL 2953105 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). Indeed, Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about coordinated counterfeiting activity between 18 defendants without any details whatsoever, which arguably violates the requirements of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Accordingly, by 2/6/26, Plaintiff must file either a memorandum explaining why joinder is proper or an amended complaint specifically naming and identifying each defendant being sued and setting forth with more than conclusory statements the alleged infringing activity. Failure to do so will result in the current complaint being dismissed without prejudice and this case being closed. Furthermore, Plaintiff has not established good cause under Local Rule 26.2 or Seventh Circuit precedent to justify sealing the names of defendants or documents pertaining to alleged infringing activity. "Secrecy makes little sense if the goal of the litigation is to protect rightholders' IP interests by obtaining an injunction against defendants' sales of infringing or counterfeit goods." See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 25 C 2937, 2025 WL 2299593 at *7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025) (Kness, J.).

See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000). Plaintiff also did not file a motion to seal those documents. Counsel is admonished to review and comply with all court procedures and applicable rules. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal the document filed at [2]. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |
