| 05/06/2026 | Plaintiff's Supplemental Response by Mattel, Inc. Pursuant to [16] |
| 04/15/2026 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff initially filed a complaint seeking to sue 100 separate defendants in this single trademark infringement suit, see [1], [2]. Once the case was assigned to this Court, however, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which names just one Defendant, and thus avoids any joinder issues. See [14]. Before Plaintiff may proceed, however, it must file a supplemental report confirming whether it has previously named any of the 100 defendants identified in this case in a prior case asserting infringement of the same intellectual property. See Julie Stiebritz v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:25-cv-03459, at 19 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 9, 2025) (dismissing the case because plaintiff previously named defendants in a prior case and dismissed them to avoid an unfavorable joinder ruling, which constitutes forum shopping). Plaintiff shall also confirm in its supplemental report that its allegations concerning sales to Illinois residents reach beyond Plaintiff's test buys in connection with this case; as such test buys by themselves will not support the exercise of personal jurisdiction over defendant. See, e.g., Walden v. Fiore, 571 U.S. 277, 285 (2014) ("the plaintiff cannot be the only link between the defendant and the forum"); Expeditee LLC v. Entities Listed on Exhibit 1, No. 21 C 6440, 2022 WL 1556381, at *4 (N.D. Ill. May 17, 2022) ("Plaintiff claims that, as part of its preliminary investigation, it purchased infringing products from the Moving Defendants that the Moving Defendants shipped to Chicago. Such sales on their own are insufficient for the purposes of personal jurisdiction, for Plaintiff has not identified evidence of any transactions involving an allegedly counterfeit product between the Moving Defendants and Illinois customers, other than the 'test buys.'"). And the submissions accompanying the initial complaint, [3-1], [3-2], show only that the identified defendants stood ready willing and able to ship allegedly infringing goods, not that they did so. Plaintiff shall file its supplemental report by 5/6/26. Based upon Plaintiff's notice of withdrawal [15], the Clerk shall terminate docket entry [4] as a pending motion. Mailed notice. |
