SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER signed by the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings on 4/4/2025. Mailed notice 翻译
04/04/2025
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [15], motion for leave to file excess pages [14], and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and for electronic service of process [11] are granted. 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. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, plaintiff may file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal. 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, 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 offering 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 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. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Status hearing is set for 5/19/25 at 9:00 a.m. to track the case only. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). The previously set 3/17/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 5/30/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice 翻译

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: The Court has reviewed plaintiff's supplemental memorandum in support of joinder [9], which the Court notes was filed almost a month after the Court's deadline for filing the memorandum. Future failures to abide by Court-ordered deadlines may result in sanctions, up to and including, dismissal of this action. Nonetheless, the Court finds that joinder is proper at this preliminary stage pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 20(a)(2). Specifically, plaintiff has submitted evidence establishing that beyond just infringing plaintiff's same copyrights - which alone is insufficient to establish the propriety of joinder, see Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 187 (N.D.Ill. 2020), - plaintiff has (1) "linked the counterfeit products to the Chinese wholesale website, 1688.com" which "offers bulk sales of counterfeit Sewell-Knight products;" (2) defendants' counterfeit products appeared to be manufactured by 1688 sellers in two specific regions; and (3) many of the listings show the same images or text, supporting the possibility that the product marketing materials are also sourced from a small group of suppliers/manufacturers. Further, no defendants will be prejudiced by permitting joinder at this juncture. See Bose Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 334 F.R.D. 511, 517 (N.D.Ill. 2020). To the extent any defendant appears and objects to joinder, the Court will revisit the issue and is free to sever certain defendants from the case under Rule 21 at that time. And, of course, the Court's finding regarding joinder in this case is not dispositive of the propriety of joinder in any other cases before the Court. If plaintiff intends to seek injunctive relief and/or electronic service of process and expedited discovery, any such motion shall be filed by 3/4/25. The previously set 1/27/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 3/17/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice. 翻译

The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge Jeffrey I. Cummings. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [5] is granted. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of over 100 defendants in this case. See, e.g. Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D.Ill. 2020). By 12/20/24, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with a smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Status hearing set for 1/27/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice. 翻译
