| 03/20/2026 | regarding Personal Jurisdiction STATEMENT by Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., The Black & Decker Corporation 附件： 1:Exhibit 1 |
| 03/17/2026 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: The motion hearing set for 3/19/26 [27] is stricken. Mailed notice (gel,) |
| 03/17/2026 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Upon review of Plaintiffs' motion for electronic service of process [25] and other filings, the Court observes that Plaintiffs have not provided evidence of Defendant having sold a product using the allegedly infringing photograph in Illinois. Plaintiffs allege that Defendant sells products in Illinois using Plaintiffs' trademark, but provide no evidence of such sale. [15]. To establish personal jurisdiction over Defendant, Plaintiffs must establish that Defendant actually sold a product using the allegedly infringing goods to a customer in Illinois. See Liu v. Monthly, et al., No. 25-2074, Dkt. 35 (7th Cir. Mar. 9, 2026) (unpublished) (citing Curry v. Revolution Lab'ys, LLC, 949 F.3d 385, 400 (7th Cir. 2020)). Although Liu is a nonprecedential disposition, the Court agrees with the reasoning and conclusion regarding the issue of allegations sufficient to support specific personal jurisdiction. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' motion for electronic service [25] is denied without prejudice, and Plaintiffs must file either an amended complaint or supplemental statement establishing a basis for personal jurisdiction. If an amended complaint or supplemental statement consistent with this order is not filed by 3/24/26, this action may be dismissed without prejudice for lack of personal jurisdiction.

| 02/05/2026 | EXHIBIT by Plaintiffs Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., The Black & Decker Corporation Schedule A regarding amended complaint[15] |
| 02/05/2026 | AMENDED complaint by Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., The Black & Decker Corporation against yourmedispa 附件： 1:Exhibit 4 2:Exhibit 1 3:Exhibit 2 4:Exhibit 3 |

| 02/05/2026 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Upon review of the trademark infringement complaint and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all 55 defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20. See Viking Arm AS v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A,No. 24 C 1566, 2024 WL 2953105 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). Indeed, Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about coordinated counterfeiting activity between 55 defendants without any details whatsoever, which arguably violates the requirements of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Accordingly, by 2/12/26, Plaintiff must file either a memorandum explaining why joinder is proper or an amended complaint specifically naming and identifying each defendant being sued and setting forth with more than conclusory statements the alleged infringing activity. Failure to do so will result in the current complaint being dismissed without prejudice and this case being closed. Furthermore, Plaintiff has not established good cause under Local Rule 26.2 or Seventh Circuit precedent to justify sealing the names of defendants or documents pertaining to alleged infringing activity. "Secrecy makes little sense if the goal of the litigation is to protect rightholders' IP interests by obtaining an injunction against defendants' sales of infringing or counterfeit goods." See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, No. 25 C 2937, 2025 WL 2299593 at *7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025) (Kness, J.). More importantly, this presumption of sealing runs counter to the well-established authority of this Circuit holding that "[m]any a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case. be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing." See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-568 (7th Cir. 2000). For those reasons, the motion for leave to file under seal [3] is denied. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal the document filed at [2]. Mailed notice (gel,) |
