MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeannice W. Appenteng. The Court has reviewed the parties' 10/21/2024 joint status report 121 and the District Judge's order granting plaintiff's motion for leave to file a third amended complaint 123. By 11/4/2024, the parties shall file a joint status report setting forth a revised discovery schedule, with dates certain for each stage of discovery. Mailed notice
10/24/2024
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: The Second Amended Complaint brings claims for infringement of Plaintiff's 259 Patent, 419 Patent, and 582 Patent. R. 98. Plaintiff now moves for leave to file a Third Amended Complaint to add claims for infringement of Plaintiff's 444 Patent and 445 Patent. R. 114. Defendants argue that leave to amend should be denied because the parties have already begun exchanging discovery. R. 117 at 3. But the parties have been engaged in discovery for just three months. R. 106. And leave to amend a complaint should "be freely given when justice so requires." Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a). Defendants also argue that Plaintiff unreasonably delayed. R. 117 at 4. See Barry Aviation Inc. v. Land O'Lakes Mun. Airport Comm'n, 377 F.3d 682, 687 (7th Cir. 2004) (citations omitted) ("In the absence of any apparent or declared reasonsuch as undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, futility of amendment, etc.the leave sought should, as the rules require, be freely given."). But as Plaintiffs explain: "Now, at the start of discovery, Plaintiff has been given the opportunity to further examine the [accused products]. and believe it would be appropriate to assert additional claims of patent litigation against [these products]." R. 120 at 5. Finally, Defendants argue that Plaintiffs should file a separate lawsuit concerning the 444 and 445 Patents. R. 117 at 5. But the 444 and 445 Patents involve the same family of patents, and the same accused products as identified in the prior complaints. R. 114 at 4. Allowing an amendment would serve judicial efficiency by allowing the parties to resolve issues related to all five patents in one suit. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file a Third Amended Complaint 114 is granted. Mailed notice.

1:(Exhibit 1)
06/14/2024
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: Defendant zhuhai jiashu dianzishangwu youxiangongsi d/b/a GD-Whitening moves to dismiss on two grounds. R. 56. First, GD-Whitening argues that Count IV of the Amended Complaint seeking unjust enrichment should be dismissed because it is preempted by federal patent law. Id. at 4. Plaintiff concedes this point. R. 81 at 1. GD-Whitening's motion to dismiss is thus granted as to Count IV. Second, GD-Whitening argues improper joinder under 35 U.S.C. § 299. R. 56 at 6. Consistent with this Court's ruling in Tang, the Court finds that joinder is improper as to GD-Whitening. See Tang v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2024 WL 68332, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 4, 2024) (citations omitted) (finding that the appearing defendants were improperly joined under 35 U.S.C. § 299 because "[the] case [did] not involve a swarm of counterfeiters passing off their products as those of a single plaintiff. [but rather,] it involve[d] multiple sellers of the exact same type of product allegedly infringing on one seller's. patent."). Though in Tang, the Court dismissed the appearing defendants, the Court notes that severance is a proper remedy for misjoinder under Rule 21. Fed. R. Civ. P. 21; see also R. 93 at 5 (GD-Whitening's reply brief). Thus, GD-Whitening's motion to dismiss is denied as to Counts I, II, and III, and Plaintiff's claims against GD-Whitening are severed. The Clerk of Court is directed to open a new case as to GD-Whitening, related to this case and assigned to Judge Durkin. In this original action, Plaintiff shall file an Amended Complaint within seven days that removes GD-Whitening as a defendant and that drops Count IV as to all remaining defendants. In the severed case against GD-Whitening, Plaintiff shall file an Amended Complaint within seven days that names GD-Whitening as the sole defendant and that drops Count IV. Within fourteen days, Plaintiff and GD-Whitening shall submit a joint status report setting forth proposed dates for discovery. Mailed notice.
