日期 描述
10/18/2024 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging trademark infringement, counterfeiting, and false designation of origin against 103 defendants. (R. 1 and R. 3.) This case follows a pattern common to "Schedule A" cases where plaintiffs allege that defendants employ similar methods and "work in active concert" to infringe plaintiffs' intellectual property. But experience has shown that not all defendants named in a Schedule A case work together. More importantly, experience has shown that joinder under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20 is rarely appropriate in Schedule A cases. Accordingly, the Court raises the propriety of joinder and requires the plaintiff to file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder on or before October 25, 2024. Alternatively, by the same date, the plaintiff may file an amended complaint naming one or more defendants; however, if the plaintiff names multiple defendants, the plaintiff must show that joinder of those defendants is proper. Having reviewed the complaint, the Court is also concerned about certain allegations directed towards joinder. For instance, the complaint alleges that, "[d]efendants are working in active concert to knowingly and willfully manufacture, import, distribute, offer for sale, and sell Counterfeit Toyota Products in the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." (R. 1 Para. 25.) This is a conclusory statement that does nothing to establish the propriety of joinder. Moreover, experience has shown that, while some individual defendants may operate several online stores, and while some individual defendants may coordinate with other defendants before or after the filing of the infringement action, rarely, if ever, have all defendants named in a Schedule A case worked together. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b)(3) requires that, "factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery." Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c)((3), the Court requires counsel for the plaintiff to show cause why the allegation that "defendants are working in active concert" does not violate Rule 11(b)(3). The October 22, 2024, motion hearing is stricken. The Court will consider the issues raised in this order first, and will hear argument on the issues raised in this order on October 30, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. Mailed notice.
10/08/2024 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The motion hearing set for 10/15/2024 is reset to 10/22/2024 at 9:30 a.m. Mailed notice.
