| 03/26/2024 | MAILED trademark report with certified copy of minute order dated 2/12/2024 to Patent Trademark Office, Alexandria VA. (jn,) |
| 02/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: In light of the status report 65 and plaintiff's agreed motion to dismiss certain defendants 66 (which the court construes as a notice of voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i), as opposed to Rule 15(a)(2))-this case is hereby dismissed without prejudice, each party to bear its own fees and costs. All outstanding motions are terminated as moot. Civil case terminated. |
| 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. |
| 10/16/2023 | ORDER: The court has reviewed the parties' memoranda on joinder 58, 59. The court has also reviewed the parties' joint initial status report 57, which states that the parties unanimously consent to proceed before the magistrate judge. However, some defendants have not appeared in this case. Those nonappearing defendants have not expressed a view regarding consent. The court therefore intends to sever the appearing defendants into a separate case and request that the Clerk of Court assign that case to this court as related to this case (23-cv-2511). Once the appearing defendants are severed into a separate case, plaintiff will pay the filing fee, file an amended complaint in the new case (involving appearing defendants only), and then, by one week after the filing of the amended complaint in the new case, the parties in the new case (plaintiff and appearing defendants) should file a joint status report indicating whether they consent to the assigned magistrate judge. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 10/16/2023. Mailed notice |
| 10/09/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Defendants' motion for an extension of time to file answer [61] is granted. Defendants Lngoor technology LLC, PXNKY Co. Ltd, Katrer Co. Ltd, AMERTEER TECHNOLOGY CO. LTD, EIMELI TECHNOLOGY LLC, OXOTTA TECH Co. Ltd, A&F WORLDWIDE TELECOM LTD, SHELLTON INC, REEREEN Co. Ltd, ZAQEDC, GETNOIVAS Co. Ltd, and KOqwez33 have already filed their answer separately on the docket [60]. |
| 10/02/2023 | MOTION by Defendants A&F WORLDWIDE TELECOM LTD, AMERTEER TECHNOLOGY CO. LTD, EIMELI TECHNOLOGY LLC, GETNOIVAS Co. Ltd, KOqwez33, Katrer Co. Ltd, Lngoor technology LLC, OXOTTA TECH Co. Ltd, PXNKY Co. Ltd, REEREEN Co. Ltd, SHELLTON INC, ZAQEDC for extension of time to file |

| 09/12/2023 | STATUS Report joint initial status report by Jirong Zhou |
| 09/01/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: By 4:00 p.m. on 9/14/2023, plaintiff and any appearing defendants should file simultaneous briefs (limited to 5 pages, excluding caption and signature block) addressing whether joinder of all defendants in a single case remains appropriate. The complaint alleged that "The Defendant Online Stores also share unique identifiers, such as design elements and similarities of the counterfeit products offered for sale, establishing a logical relationship between them and suggesting that Defendants' illegal operations arise out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." [1] 2. However, defendants have appeared and are litigating the case, raising the possibility that this case could effectively proceed as though it were multiple cases litigated on separate tracks, all under a single case number, creating inefficiency and confusion on the docket. In light of that possibility, the parties' briefs should address whether, under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20 and 21 (and any other relevant authority), one or more defendant(s) should be severed into a separate case, in which plaintiff would pay the filing fee and then the case would proceed. Mailed notice |

| 06/08/2023 | Third Amended Schedule A by Jirong Zhou |
| 06/08/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court construes plaintiff's agreed motion to dismiss certain defendants under Rule 15(a)(2) as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by removing defendants No. 26 myday88; No. 34 fortunately6 (also known as stayfocuson99); No. 35 uebshopingonline2017; No. 36 4seasonstores; No. 37 amiableseller-88 (also known as aestheticism-21); No. 40 moretreasure-20; and No. 41 hot_sale66 from the Schedule A form.

| 05/31/2023 | First Amended Schedule A by Jirong Zhou |
| 05/31/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal 39, which seeks to voluntarily dismiss defendants No. 3 SMARTASIN and No. 8 BetterHome under Rule 41(a)(1). But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by removing defendants No. 3 SMARTASIN and No. 8 BetterHome from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. Consistent with the court's order regarding 34, plaintiff is directed to file an amended Schedule A form by 6/6/2023 identifying the remaining defendants. |
| 05/31/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received defendants' motion for leave to file amended response in opposition to plaintiff's motion for entry of preliminary injunction 38. Plaintiff's response, if any, is due by 6/7/2023. If plaintiff does not file a response, the court will consider the motion unopposed. |

But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by removing defendants No. 24 Firstclassshop; No. 25 jewelry2020_us; No. 27 Wojiaoneline; No. 28 beautylady365; No. 29 shiningweddingdeals; No. 30 Gentoys; No. 31 Jindia; No. 32 motorpartsvalue; No. 33 electronicsstyle; No. 38 Jewelleri; No. 39 motortradeonline; No. 42 importjewelrylover; No. 43 pwnt-fashion; No. 44 viewviewbaby; No. 45 loviver_us; No. 46 Zgcarparts; No. 47 trandetree007us; No. 48 Thamesmall; No. 49 uptogethertek; No. 50 gardensupplies_online17; No. 51 Newlifefr; and No. 52 jsbay88 from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings.

| 05/05/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to extend the TRO 25 is granted. Under Rule 65(b)(2), the court finds good cause to extend the TRO for an additional 14 days to prevent defendants from modifying registration data and content, changing hosts, redirecting traffic to other websites in their control, and moving any assets from accounts in U.S.-based financial institutions, including service provider accounts, to offshore accounts. The court's TRO 23 entered on 4/26/2023 is extended until 5/23/2023. |
| 05/04/2023 | SUMMONS Issued as to Defendant The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A" |

| 04/26/2023 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 4/26/2023: |
| 04/26/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in plaintiff's motions (6, 7, 9), the supporting memorandum (10) and the temporary restraining order, plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal 6, for leave to file excess pages 7, and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery 9 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 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 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. |
