| 05/01/2025 | ORDER signed by the Honorable Sara L. Ellis on 5/1/2025. Mailed notice |
| 04/30/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [7], motion for electronic service of process [21], and motion for expedited discovery [22]. Plaintiff filed this case against 127 defendants selling on various platforms for trademark and copyright infringement. Under Rule 20, a plaintiff may join multiple defendants in a single action if: (1) the claims against them are asserted with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences, and (2) a question of law or fact common to all defendants exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)(B). In reviewing the filings in this case, it does not appear that joinder is proper as to all Defendants. As the Court stated in Roadget Business Pte. Ltd. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Cos., Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright, trademark, or patent in the same way, without more, does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find joinder proper. No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *67 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024). The Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by 5/16/2025, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Court's order in Roadget. The Court also cautions Plaintiff that, in order to support preliminary injunctive relief, it must show that the named defendants' alleged infringement remains active and ongoing. Plaintiff has submitted evidence of alleged infringement dating back to November 2023 for many of the named defendants. The Court thus orders Plaintiff to ensure that it only seeks preliminary injunctive relief from defendants whose alleged infringement remains active and ongoing. The Court sets a status hearing for 5/27/2025 at 9:30 AM. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: (650) 479-3207, Access Code: 2314 361 1508. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking. Please note that the conference call-in will be used by all cases that are on the court's calendar for the said date, therefore counsel must be in a quiet area while on the line and must have the telephone muted until your case is called. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing (use toll-free number). Please be sure to keep your phone on mute when you are not speaking. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court-issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court.
