| 12/28/2023 | ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Executive Committee on 12/28/2023: Mailed notice. |
| 12/14/2023 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado on 12/14/2023. |
| 12/14/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: The Court has received Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 12 and motion for a temporary restraining order 13. For the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the TRO, Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages and for a TRO, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and electronic service of process 13, 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 the individuals and entities operating Defendant online seller, 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 a sale 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. See, e.g., Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A," No. 20-CV-05049, 2021 WL 2894166, at *5 (N.D. Ill. July 9, 2021) (finding electronic service proper in similar circumstances). Expedited discovery is warranted to identify Defendants and to implement the asset freeze. In light of the Supreme Court's holding in Abitron Austria GmbH v. Hetronic International, Inc., 600 U.S. 412 (2023), that §1114(1)(a) and §1125(a)(1) of the Lanham Act do not have extraterritorial application, Plaintiff should attempt to seek discovery that identifies where Defendants used Plaintiff's marks in commerce. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court two thousand dollars ($2,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. |
