05/18/2022 FULL SATISFACTION of Judgment in the amount of $500,000 as to certain Defendants
04/13/2022 MAILED original ten-thousand-dollar ($10,000) surety bond posted by XYZ Corporation, to Ann Marie Sullivan, AM Sullivan Law, LLC, 1440 W. Taylor St., #515, Chicago, IL 60607 via certified mail # 7019 2280 0000 0963 2016.
04/07/2022 DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 4/7/2022. Mailed notice
04/07/2022 ORDER: No defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 40. The motion 40 is granted. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order and the motion for entry of default and default judgment, and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that the infringement was willful, that damages should be awarded in the amount specified in the written order, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of its trademark causes it irreparable harm in the form of diminished goodwill and brand confidence, damage to plaintiff's reputation, loss of exclusivity, and loss of future sales; that monetary damages are inadequate to address these harms; and that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction. No defendant has appeared to argue otherwise, thus, the court also finds that the balance of the hardships favors an injunction. The ten thousand dollars ($10,000) surety bond posted by plaintiff is hereby released to plaintiff's counsel. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to plaintiff's counsel Ann Marie Sullivan, AM Sullivan Law, LLC, 1440 W. Taylor St., #515, Chicago, IL 60607, via certified mail. Enter Final Default Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 4/7/2022. Mailed notice
03/18/2022 EXHIBIT by Plaintiff XYZ Corporation Amended Schedule A
03/16/2022 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's motion to amend Schedule A to the complaint 39 is granted. Baden Baden terminated. Plaintiff is directed to file the amended Schedule A separately on the docket by 3/18/2022. Plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 40 is taken under advisement. Any defendant objecting to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment must enter an appearance and file a written objection by 3/25/2022. If no objections are filed, the court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice.

01/19/2022 PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 1/19/2022:
01/19/2022 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Except for defendant ProCosplay, no defendant has appeared or filed an objection to plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction 23. As to all defendants except for ProCosplay: the motion for preliminary injunction 23 is granted, because a preliminary injunction is appropriate for the same reasons a TRO was granted, and is unopposed. Enter Preliminary Injunction. The Clerk is directed to unseal any previously sealed documents in this matter. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to add all defendants listed on Schedule A to the court's docket within three business days. Instructions on how to do so may be located on the court's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/instructions. As to defendant ProCosplay: the preliminary injunction motion 23 is continued, and plaintiff and ProCosplay are directed to confer and file a joint status report as to how they plan to proceed by 1/27/2022.

01/06/2022 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal 27, which seeks to voluntarily dismiss defendant No. 130 LATESTBUY under Rule 41(a)(1). But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by dropping defendant No. 130 LATESTBUY the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended Schedule A form by 1/16/2022 identifying the remaining defendants.
12/30/2021 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has taken the motion for preliminary injunction 23 under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by 1/10/2022. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice.

12/07/2021 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 12/7/2021:
12/07/2021 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's motions 10, 12, the supporting memoranda 11, 13 and the temporary restraining order, Plaintiff's motions for electronic service of process 12 and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery 10 are granted. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, 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 substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest. 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 genuinely intends to pursue an accounting, but at this preliminary stage, plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence of coordinated activity and the prospect of an accounting to justify the requested relief as to all defendants. 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. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security.
12/06/2021 AMENDED complaint by XYZ Corporation against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A
附件:
1:Exhibit 1
12/06/2021 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 6 is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were Defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of a temporary restraining order, there is a significant risk that Defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Conversely, there are no exceptional circumstances that would justify allowing plaintiff to conceal its own identity. Plaintiff can protect its interest in avoiding the destruction of evidence and transfer of assets by filing the temporary restraining order ex parte and through sealing the information regarding the identities of the defendants and the URLs through which they operate. Given these protections for Plaintiff's legitimate interests, the countervailing strong public interest in knowing who is seeking recourse in the federal courts compels the court to deny Plaintiff's request to conceal its own identity, even initially. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 37677 (7th Cir. 2016). Accordingly, Plaintiff must file an amended complaint disclosing its name and asserted copyrights, but the motion to seal is granted with respect to Plaintiff's other requested relief.
