| 04/17/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff devotes much of its supplemental memorandum of law 58 in support of its motion 51 for default judgment to arguing an issue on which the court did not request supplemental briefing, namely plaintiff's entitlement to statutory damages. See Suppl. Mem. 4-9. Regarding the issue on which supplemental briefing was requested, plaintiff argues that permanently freezing defendant's assets is appropriate "to prevent the continued harm bestowed upon Plaintiff as a result of Defendant's illegal activities of marketing and selling counterfeit NARUTO Products." Suppl. Mem. 3; see id. at 5-6. Consistent with Grupo Dataflex Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo S.A. v. Alliance Bond Fund, Inc., 527 U.S. 308 (1999), this court froze defendant's assets pre-judgment to preserve plaintiff's ability to conduct an equitable accounting of profits from infringing sales. Now that plaintiff has elected statutory damages, the extraordinary relief of a permanent asset freeze has not been justified. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion 51 for default judgment is granted with the exception of the request for a permanent asset freeze. The default judgment must maintain the preliminary injunction's asset freeze not to exceed the amount of statutory damages awarded in the default judgment. Plaintiff must file a revised proposed default judgment on the docket by and including April 24, 2025. Plaintiff must also send a copy of its proposed default judgment, in PDF and Microsoft Word-readable formats, to Proposed_Order_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov. Mailed notice |
| 04/16/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff's motion 57 for a two-day extension of its deadline to renew its motion for default judgment is granted. Plaintiff's supplemental memorandum 58 filed April 15, 2025, is deemed timely filed. Mailed notice |

| 04/14/2025 | MOTION by Plaintiff TV Tokyo Corporation for extension of time Plaintiff's Motion for a First Extension of Time to File a Supplemental Memorandum [Dkt. No. 56] |
| 04/08/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Upon consideration of the accompanying certificate of service 55, plaintiff's motion 51 for default judgment is denied without prejudice because plaintiff does not adequately justify its request for a permanent asset freeze in paragraphs four, six, and seven of its proposed form of default judgment. Those paragraphs do not cap the amount of frozen assets at the judgment amount, and plaintiff does not explain in its memorandum of law 52 why imposing a permanent asset freeze would be appropriate and lawful. Plaintiff is given until and including April 14, 2025, either to submit a revised form of default without a permanent asset freeze or explain why a permanent asset freeze is appropriate.
