The plaintiff must also provide to each defendant the screenshot evidence of the allegedly infringing product(s) offered and sold by that defendant that Plaintiff has provided to the Court in support of its request for a TRO and/or preliminary injunction. The plaintiff must also file a certification by 7/31/2024 that it complied with the Court's order "to give notice of this Order to the Third Party Providers defined in the TRO," i.e., inform them that the TRO is not presently in effect and the date of such notice.

| 07/23/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Plaintiff's motion to reconsider denial of its motion to extend TRO 39 is denied. Plaintiff argues that it should not be punished for counsel's mistake, but that is an unavoidable aspect of litigation; it is well established that "[a]ttorneys' actions are imputed to their clients, even when those actions cause substantial harm. A litigant bears the risk of errors made by his chosen agent." Wade v. Soo Line R.R. Corp., 500 F.3d 559, 564 (7th Cir. 2007). Furthermore, the plaintiff argues that the Court's denial of its motion to extend the TRO will cause it substantial harm; however, the TRO had already lapsed by the time the plaintiff had moved to extend it. See Rule 65(a)(2) (absent extension for good cause or consent of other party, TRO lasts for only 14 days); TRO, ECF No. 35 (entered 7/2/24); mot. to extend TRO, ECF No. 37 (filed 7/17/24 at 10:59 p.m.). Thus, the plaintiff was already vulnerable to the consequences about which the plaintiff complains namely, the withdrawal of funds by the defendant internet stores due to the lapse of the TRO/asset freeze starting 7/16/24, and that occurred as a result of plaintiff's failure to extend the TRO or obtain consent by 7/16/24 (even though the Court ordered any motion to extend by 7/11/24), not due to the Court's denial of the motion to extend it on 7/18/24.

| 07/18/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Plaintiff's motion to extend the temporary restraining order 37 is denied. The Temporary Restraining Order 36 stated, "Any motion to extend this Order must be filed by July 11, 2024." The TRO expired on 7/16/24. The Clerk is directed to unseal all documents in this case, including the TRO 35, memorandum in support of TRO and exhibits thereto 31, and the sealed schedule A 29. Plaintiff is ordered to give notice of this Order to the Third Party Providers defined in the TRO. Mailed notice |

Tharp, Jr: The plaintiff's renewed motion for TRO and accompanying exhibits containing screenshots of the defendant internet stores suggest that the plaintiff is still asserting copyright claims against the defendants (in addition to trademark claims); however, the proposed order submitted to the Court's inbox, as well as Declarations of Sliger and Gulbransen, indicate that the plaintiff is only seeking a TRO for violations of its trademark rights. The plaintiff is directed to clarify this discrepancy and, if necessary, file a second renewed motion and memorandum, corrected proposed order, and any other necessary documents by 7/1/2024.

| 05/30/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motion for TRO 8 is denied without prejudice for two reasons. First, the record does not contain any reproductions of the visual material that is protected under each asserted copyright, so the Court is not in a position to evaluate whether the plaintiff has made the requisite preliminary showing of infringement. Second, the screenshot evidence of the defendants' alleged infringements asserts that defendants (e.g., Doe #1, ECF No. [9-3]) are violating trademarks that are not included in the exhibit of trademark registrations attached to the amended complaint [15-1], and the screenshot evidence does not plausibly show that multiple defendants (e.g., Doe #1) are using any of the asserted trademarks in exhibit 1 to the complaint as source indicators, including the product configuration marks. Trademark protections do not restrict others from using the same or similar product designs per se. Trademark protections restrict others' uses of words, images, and, in some cases, product configurations/designs, but only when they are being used as trademarks, i.e., methods of identifying and distinguishing sources of goods, and thus likely to cause confusion among consumers as to the sources of those goods. See AutoZone, Inc. v. Strick, 543 F.3d 923, 930 (7th Cir. 2008) (In assessing likelihood of confusion, "[t]he court should. 'consider whether the customer would believe that the trademark owner sponsored, endorsed or was otherwise affiliated with the product.'" (quoting Nike, Inc. v. "Just Did It" Enters., 6 F.3d 1225, 1228-29 (7th Cir. 1993))). The plaintiff cannot proceed on a theory that the similarity of the defendants' product configurations (according to the "product listings") to the plaintiff's product configuration is a trademark violation, particularly where the screenshot evidence of the defendants' allegedly infringing products does not otherwise contain any indications that the products have their source in the plaintiff company. The plaintiff has leave to file a renewed motion for TRO and, if necessary, schedule A and supplemental exhibits, by 6/21/2024. Mailed notice |

| 05/24/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal and proceed under a pseudonym 7 is granted in part and denied in part, and its motion to seal documents 11 is granted. The motions to file under seal are granted; those documents, such as the Schedule A may be filed under seal. The motion to temporarily proceed under a pseudonym is denied. The Seventh Circuit heavily disfavors anonymous, pseudonymous, or "no-name" litigation and requires the plaintiff to demonstrate "exceptional circumstances" that justify a refusal to self-identify. Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 37677 (7th Cir. 2016). "[B]rand owners who seek relief against alleged counterfeiters may be frustrated by the stringent requirements for pseudonymous litigation. But in the absence of a change in binding Seventh Circuit caselaw, changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or the creation of an alternative legislative remedy, the current legal framework does not permit pseudonymity without a demonstration of circumstances more exceptional than those presented" in a typical "Schedule A" online counterfeiting case. XYZ Corp. v. Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Sched. A, No. 21-CV-06471, 2022 WL 180151 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022); see also XYZ Corporation v. Partnership and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 2020 WL 6681360 (N.D. Ill., 2020) (noting that in a case with an anonymous plaintiff suing a sealed schedule A, "[t]he public has no earthly idea who is suing whom," and striking the complaint because the plaintiff attempted to proceed anonymously without "request[ing] leave of Court, let alone establish[ing] that 'exceptional circumstances' justify shielding its identity."). The plaintiff's motion identifies circumstances that are common to all "Schedule A" cases, meaning that the circumstances are, by definition, not exceptional. Accordingly, the plaintiff is directed to file an amended, non-anonymous complaint and to change the pseudonym used on the case caption on CM/ECF to the plaintiff's true identity by 6/21/2024.
