01/17/2025 MOTION by Plaintiff Better Mouse Company, LLC to Extend Sealed TRO [10]
译文:原告Better Mouse Company,LLC提出延长密封TRO的动议[10]
01/06/2025 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 1/6/2025.
译文:约翰·F·阁下签署的密封临时限制令Kness于2025年1月6日发布。
01/06/2025 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, which includes a motion for electronic service of process [4] and motion for leave to file under seal [7] are granted in part. Plaintiff's submissions (e.g., Dkt. 6-1) 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. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, Plaintiff may for now file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal and appearing at docket entries [2] and [6]. The Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this minute order shall also be placed under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motions cited above, the Court holds, dubitante, that Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis under FRCP 65(b)(1). (This holding is subject to reconsideration in future "Schedule A" cases.) Specifically, and as noted above, 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 the equitable accounting that, at this point, Plaintiff states that it may pursue. These facts justify, among other relief, the imposition of a prejudgment asset restraint against Defendants in an amount not to exceed $50,000 per separate account. In addition, the Court finds, at least for now on this limited and one-sided record and without prejudice to revisiting the issue, that it has personal jurisdiction over Defendants because they directly target their business activities toward consumers in the United States, including Illinois. Specifically, Defendants have targeted sales to Illinois residents by setting up and operating e-commerce stores that target United States consumers using one or more Seller Aliases, offer shipping to the United States, including Illinois, accept payment in U.S. dollars, and have sold products using infringing versions of Plaintiff's patented work to residents of Illinois. The evidence presented to the Court also shows that Plaintiff has demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to Plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the harm caused by infringing 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. As several judges have previously noted, there may be reason to question the propriety of joining all Defendants in this one action, but at this preliminary stage, the Court is persuaded that 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 reconsider the asset freeze and joinder. Enter sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Mailed notice.
译文:在尊敬的John F.Kness法官面前的会议记录:部分批准了原告要求临时限制令的单方面动议,其中包括电子送达法律程序文件的动议[4]和允许盖章存档的动议[7]。原告提交的材料(例如,Dkt.6-1)确定,如果被告在执行原告请求的初步禁令救济之前得知这些程序,被告很有可能销毁相关的书面证据,并将资产隐藏或转移到法院无法触及的地方。因此,根据在适当时间开封的条件,原告现在可以将动议中确定的盖章并出现在案卷[2]和[6]上的文件加盖印章。与本会议记录一起登录的临时限制令也应加盖印章。此外,就上述动议而言,法院认为,原告的申请暂时支持根据《宪法》第65(B)(1)条单方面提起诉讼。(在未来的“附表A”案件中,这一持有可能会受到重新考虑。)具体地说,如上所述,如果被告在TRO可以发布之前被告知这一程序,很可能会改变资产和网站的方向,从而破坏原告在确定被告、阻止被告的侵权行为和获得原告在这一点上可能寻求的衡平会计方面的利益。这些事实证明,除其他救济外,对被告施加预判资产限制,每个单独账户的金额不超过50,000美元。此外,最高法院认定,至少就目前而言,在这份有限而片面的记录中,在不影响重新讨论这一问题的情况下,法院对被告拥有个人管辖权,因为他们直接针对包括伊利诺伊州在内的美国消费者的商业活动。具体地说,被告通过建立和运营电子商务商店,以使用一个或多个卖家化名的美国消费者为目标,向包括伊利诺伊州在内的美国提供送货服务,接受美元付款,并使用原告专利作品的侵权版本向伊利诺伊州居民销售产品,从而瞄准了伊利诺伊州居民的销售目标。提交给法院的证据还表明,原告根据案情(包括主动侵权和向伊利诺伊州销售的证据)证明了胜诉的可能性,对原告的损害是不可弥补的,并且禁令符合公共利益。由于侵权商品造成的损害,禁令服务于公共利益,而指示被告停止侵权的命令不会对他们造成相反的伤害。诉讼程序的电子送达不违反任何条约,并符合正当程序,因为它有效地将这一诉讼的悬而未决传达给被告。正如几名法官以前指出的那样,可能有理由质疑将所有被告加入这一诉讼的适当性,但在这个初步阶段,法院相信,原告已经提供了充分的证据,证明协调一致的活动和对所有被告提出的救济请求的可能性是合理的。有必要加快发现,以确定被告和实施资产冻结。如果任何被告出庭并提出反对,法院将重新考虑资产冻结和合并。进入密封的临时限制令。邮寄的通知。
