| 11/14/2023 | FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 11/14/2023. Mailed notice |
| 11/14/2023 | ORDER signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 11/14/2023: Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment 105 is granted. Enter Final Judgment Order. The ten-thousand-dollar ($10,000) surety bond posted by Casio Computer Co., Ltd. is hereby released to Casio Computer Co., Ltd. or its counsel, Hughes Socol Piers Resnick & Dym, Ltd. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to Michael A. Hierl, Hughes Socol Piers Resnick & Dym, Ltd, Three First National Plaza, 70 West Madison Street, Suite 4000, Chicago, IL 60602 via certified mail. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice |

| 11/06/2023 | CERTIFICATE of Service Proof of Service by William Benjamin Kalbac on behalf of Casio Computer Co., Ltd. |
| 11/03/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion 105 for entry of default and default judgment against various remaining Defendants. Those Defendants identified in Plaintiff's motion have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before 11/9/2023. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order forthwith upon all affected Defendants and must file proof of service. Separately, Plaintiff has noted in its motion for default that it expects to file a notice of voluntary dismissal as to the Shenzhen Hekeyuan entity. But as the Court previously explained 101, that entity is not a distinct Defendant but purports to be affiliated with Defendants "Surace" (Def. 79) and "Wingle-Direct" (Def. 88). Those Defendants have already been dismissed by Plaintiff (see Dkt. 102), so it is not apparent how Shenzhen Hekeyuan could be dismissed even if Plaintiff agreed to do so (Shenzhen Hekeyuan, to repeat, is not a separate party). If the Court has misapprehended the status of Shenzhen Hekeyuan, Plaintiff must file a clarifying statement on or before 11/9/2023. Mailed notice |

| 10/18/2023 | NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Casio Computer Co., Ltd. Plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal as to Defendants No.79, 88 |
| 09/16/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: A entity calling itself Shenzhen Hekeyuan Digital Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shenzhen Hekeyuan") has filed, through counsel Edward Chen, a motion 100 under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint for failure to state a claim. Shenzhen Hekeyuan states that it operates two digital stores that are Defendants in this action: "Surace" (Def. 79) and "Wingle-Direct" (Def. 88) (Shenzhen Hekeyuan did not identify either of these Defendants by number). Shenzhen Hekeyuan has, however, on behalf of Surace and Wingle-Direct, already filed an answer to Plaintiff's complaint. See Dkt. 40 (entered on 5/30/2023). As Rule 12(b) explains, a motion under Rule 12(b)(6) "must be made before pleading if a responsive pleading is allowed." An answer, like the answer Shenzhen Hekeyuan has already filed, is a "responsive pleading" under Rule 7(a). Accordingly, Shenzhen Hekeyuan's motion to dismiss is both late (under the Rules and the time allowed in this case to respond to Plaintiff's complaint (see Dkt. 31)) and superfluous. Accordingly, the motion 100 to dismiss is itself dismissed. A status hearing as to Defendants Surace and Wingle-Direct will be set by separate order. Mailed notice |

| 09/05/2023 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 9/5/2023. Mailed notice |
| 09/05/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Defendants AhaStyle, BestBlue, MiimallUC have been voluntarily dismissed; as a result, their motion to dismiss 76 is dismissed as moot. Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 54 is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that Plaintiff has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk 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, 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's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Schedule A are added to the docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents.

| 04/14/2023 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 4/14/2023 |
| 04/14/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 6, motion for leave to file excess pages 9, and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order and other relief 10 are granted in part. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were Defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of Plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that Defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, Plaintiff may for now file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal and appearing at docket entries 7 and 12 through 18. The accompanying Temporary Restraining Order shall also be placed under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motions cited above, Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, it is likely assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating Plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping Defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by Plaintiff shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to Plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods, and 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 effectively communicates the pendency of this action to Defendants. As other judges in this District have noted, there may be reason to question both the propriety of the joinder of all Defendants in this one action and whether Plaintiff will pursue an accounting (which Plaintiff asserts as justification for an asset freeze), but at this preliminary stage, the court is persuaded that Plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence of coordinated activity and the prospect of an accounting to justify the requested relief as to all Defendants. A transfer of domain names is appropriate to prevent infringing conduct. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. If any defendant appears and objects, the court will revisit the asset freeze and joinder. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Mailed notice |
