| 01/12/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado on 1/12/2024. |
| 01/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: In light of the amended Schedule A listing four Defendants and the accompanying screenshots, the Court finds that joinder is now proper. The motion for temporary restraining order 10 is granted for the reasons stated in the motion. Plaintiffs' 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 Plaintiffs' interests in identifying the individuals and entities operating Defendants, stopping Defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by Plaintiffs shows a substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement), the harm to Plaintiffs 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. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Court a $10,000 bond as security. |

| 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 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: Before the Court rules on Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order, the Court orders Plaintiff to address the issue of joinder of all 249 Defendants. Based on Plaintiff's screenshots, Dkts. 12 - 24, some Defendants appear to be improperly joined because they sell very different products and, contrary to Plaintiff's allegation, do not appear to share "design elements and similarities of the counterfeit products offered for sale." Dkt. 1 at 3. Therefore, Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. The P'ships & Uninc. Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, Case No. 19-cv-7878, 2020 WL 433870 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 27, 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 1/5/2024, explaining how each Defendant is properly joined. In lieu of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with a subset of the defendants along with a memorandum explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. |
