06/17/2021 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E.

06/03/2021 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 06/03/2021. Emailed notice (mw,)
06/03/2021 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: After receiving the proposed TRO, see R. 33, the TRO is entered today under seal, with a public redacted version posted as well. The TRO expires on 06/17/2021. The tracking status hearing of 06/18/2021 remains in place, as does the requirement to file the extension on the TRO (if appropriate) on 06/11/2021. Emailed notice
05/13/2021 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff's motion 8 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately (after the Plaintiff emails the amended proposed order, as noted below). 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 Plaintiff's request to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. On joinder, on examination of the online screenshots of the proposed amended Defendants, the uniqueness of the particular offered good (which is a very specific item with a unique design) and their striking similarity to one another makes joinder of the Amended Schedule A Defendants appropriate. ***By 05/20/2021, the Plaintiff shall email (1) an under-seal version and (2) a redacted version of the proposed TRO, both of which should reflect any edits needed by the Amended Schedule A.*** The TRO will expire 14 days after the Court actually enters it (and of course the TRO is not effective until its actual entry). The motion 7 for extra pages is granted. The Plaintiff's request for electronic service of process is granted. The tracking status hearing of 05/14/2021 is reset to 06/18/2021 at 8:30 a.m. The Plaintiff shall file the extension motion on the TRO no later than three business days before the expiration of the initial TRO. Emailed notice

Chang: The joinder issue and examination of exhibits are still under advisement, so the status hearing of 03/26/2021 is reset to 04/16/2021 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).

12/03/2020 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of Amended Schedule A, the Plaintiff shall file a memorandum in support of joinder explaining how these particular Defendants are properly joined under the standard set forth in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 188-89 (N.D. Ill. 2020). The memorandum is due by 12/16/2020.

11/13/2020 MAILED to plaintiff(s) counsel Lanham Mediation Program materials
11/13/2020 MAILED Trademark report to Patent Trademark Office, Alexandria VA
11/11/2020 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff's motion [5] to seal Schedule A is granted, in light of the goal of restraining assets. But this case was filed against 157 defendants for infringing the same set of trademarks. Joinder as to all of those defendants is almost surely not proper when measured against the standard set in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 188-89 (N.D. Ill. 2020). On review of the exhibits, it does not appear that the Plaintiff picked the Defendants for joinder based on that standard. The Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint by 11/23/2020, to comply with the opinion. (There is no need to amend the TRO motion.) To track the filing of the amended complaint, a status hearing is set for 12/04/2020 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Emailed notice
