| 05/15/2024 | DEFAULT FIINAL JUDGMENT ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani on 5/15/2024. Mailed notice |
| 05/15/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: No remaining defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 33 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of plaintiff's copyrights irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by defendants (plaintiff has failed to seek an accounting of profits), the value of plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $50,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond posted in the amount of ten thousand dollar ($10,000) to Plaintiff or its counsel, Keith Vogt, Ltd., 33 West Jackson Boulevard, #2W, Chicago, Illinois, 60604. Enter separate Default Final Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice |
| 04/23/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default and Default Judgment Against the Defendants Identified in First Amended Schedule A 33 is under advisement.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a), the Court entered default as to Defendants excluding Defendant GZCQSM on 3/12/2024 35.

| 03/20/2024 | MOTION by Plaintiff Gerald J. Lofaro to approve consent judgment |
| 03/12/2024 | CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Gerald J. Lofaro regarding text entry, 35 |
| 03/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment against all defendants 33. The Court notes that the motion does not appear to exclude defendant GZCQSM - which was granted an extension until 3/19/24 to answer or otherwise plead to plaintiff's complaint from its requested relief. Defendant GZCQSM is thus excluded from this Order. All remaining defendants, however, have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, an order of default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before 3/20/24. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. Mailed notice |
| 03/11/2024 | MEMORANDUM by Gerald J. Lofaro in support of motion for default judgment 33 附件： 1:Exhibit 1 2:Exhibit 2 3:(Declaration of Keith A. Vogt) |
| 03/11/2024 | MOTION by Plaintiff Gerald J. Lofaro for default judgment as to The Defendants Identified In First Amended Schedule A |
| 02/29/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Defendant's unopposed motion for extension of time to answer or otherwise plead 31 is granted. Defendant GZCQSM shall answer or otherwise plead by 3/19/24. The 3/1/24 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 5/3/24 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required).

| 02/26/2024 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings on 2/26/24. Mailed notice |
| 02/26/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 22 is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of infringing goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this action and the motion, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Schedule A are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents. Mailed notice |

| 02/12/2024 | CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Gerald J. Lofaro regarding text entry, 26 |
| 02/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction 22. In connection with that motion, plaintiff must serve all remaining defendants with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by or before February 20, 2024." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's order entering the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date upon which the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Mailed notice |

| 01/30/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings on 1/30/2024 |
| 01/30/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 10 and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery, and electronic service of process 12 are granted solely as to the defendants identified in plaintiff's Amended Schedule A 18. 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 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 set for 3/1/24 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice |

| 12/28/2023 | ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. 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. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Executive Committee on 12/28/2023: Mailed notice. |

| 11/22/2023 | 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 excess pages 11 is granted. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 10 and plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order 12 are entered and continued. Upon review of the complaint and the TRO submissions, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of over 200 defendants in this case. See, e.g. Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D.Ill. 2020). By 12/1/23, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. 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.
