11/02/2023 DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER: Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 11/2/2023: Mailed notice.
11/02/2023 ORDER: No defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 51. The motion 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 statutory damages should be awarded in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) per defendant, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of its marks and copyrights 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 Michael A. Hierl of Hughes Socol Piers Resnick & Dym, Ltd. at Three First National Plaza, 70 W. Madison Street, Suite 4000, Chicago, IL 60602, via certified mail. Enter Final Judgment Order. Terminate civil case. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 11/2/2023: Mailed notice.

10/19/2023 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Any defendant objecting to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 51 must enter an appearance and file a written objection by 10/30/2023. If no objections are filed, the court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice.

07/12/2023 PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 7/12/2023:
07/12/2023 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the same reasons the TRO was granted, a preliminary injunction against Defendants Nos. 173-188 is appropriate, and is unopposed. Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction 31 is granted. 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. Upon further consideration, the court determines that the TRO as to Defendants Nos. 1-172 should be further extended to and including 7/13/2023, for the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering and extending the TRO, as well as in Plaintiff's motion 34 to extend the TRO. Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under FRCP 65(b), this extension is again "in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 844 (7th Cir. 2012).

06/27/2023 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has taken the motion for preliminary injunction 31 under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by 7/6/2023. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering and extending the TRO, as well as in Plaintiff's motion 34 to extend the TRO, the TRO is further extended to and including the date on which the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844.

06/13/2023 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to extend the TRO 29 is granted. Under Rule 65(b)(2), the court finds good cause to extend the TRO for 14 days to prevent defendants from transferring assets from their U.S. based financial accounts, modifying the names of their internet stores, or removing their internet stores from their current platforms. The court's TRO 27 entered on 6/1/23 is extended until 6/29/23. Mailed notice.

06/01/2023 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 6/1/2023:
06/01/2023 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the temporary restraining order, Plaintiff's motions for leave to file excess pages 9 and for leave to file under seal 6 are granted. Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, electronic service of process, and expedited discovery 10 is 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 timely 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.
05/26/2023 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court takes plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 10 under advisement. Plaintiff is directed to submit by 6/2/2023 a proposed order to the court's proposed order inbox (proposed_order_pacold@ilnd.uscourts.gov).
