| 08/07/2025 | MOTION by Plaintiff Bonney Ruan for extension of time to Extend the Temporary Restraining Order |

| 07/25/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [6] is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. However, there are no exceptional circumstances that would justify allowing plaintiff to conceal its own identity. Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order is being adjudicated contemporaneously, and the identity of the defendant entities will be placed under seal during the pendency of the ex parte proceedings. Given these protections for plaintiff's legitimate interests, the countervailing strong public interest in knowing who is seeking recourse in the federal courts compels the Court to deny plaintiff's request to conceal its own identity, even initially. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016). Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate such circumstances here. Thus, the request to proceed under a pseudonym is denied. Plaintiff's motion for entry of a TRO, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery [9] and motion for electronic service [13] are granted as to the defendants on Amended Schedule A [19]. For the purpose of these motions, plaintiff's filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that their 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 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. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods, and there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. 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. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Plaintiff shall submit a proposed TRO including only the remaining defendants to the Court's proposed order inbox by 7/29/25. Mailed notice |
