| 03/05/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff has submitted an amended complaint [12] and attached copyright registrations covering certain photographs of bird feeders (not the bird feeders themselves), see [12-1]. But the registrations themselves do not include the covered photographs; Plaintiff included photographs in a separate chart, not attached to the registrations, [12-1] at 2. Before the Court will allow Plaintiff to proceed on its amended complaint, which seeks to hold defendants liable for using copyrighted pictures to sell products here that are not themselves protected, Plaintiff must provide the Court with the copyrighted photographs included within each registration so that the Court can assess the sufficiency of Plaintiff's allegations and the propriety of joinder. For now, the Court dismissed Plaintiff's amended complaint [12] without prejudice. The Court grants Plaintiff's motion to seal [15] but reminds counsel that all motions must be noticed for presentment, or they will be stricken. Plaintiff shall file any further amended complaint by 3/31/25. Mailed notice. |

| 03/03/2025 | AMENDED complaint by HB Feeder, LLC against The Partnerships Identified on Schedule A 附件： 1:Exhibit 1 |
| 02/18/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff has initiated a copyright and trademark infringement case against 127 defendants and seeks to proceed, at least initially, via pseudonym. See 1, 2. Plaintiff also filed its complaint and supporting materials, as well as the "Schedule A" listing the named defendants under seal, 2, without seeking leave to do so. "No-name litigation is disfavored in general, and particularly in this Circuit." XYZ Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 21-CV-06471, 2022 WL 180151, at *12 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022). The Seventh Circuit has "repeatedly voiced its disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate 'exceptional circumstances' that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Id. (citing Doe v. Vill. of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 37677 (7th Cir. 2016); Doe v. Smith, 429 F.3d 706, 710 (7th Cir. 2005); Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wis., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir. 1997)). Here, Plaintiff simply filed its complaint using a pseudonym, without leave, and without any effort to justify the tactic. Yet, many cases just like this are filed every day in this District without anonymous plaintiffs, and the Court has no reason to think that the requested sealing order (which would prevent defendants from learning that they have been sued) remains insufficient by itself to alleviate any concerns Plaintiff may have about disclosing its identity. Because Plaintiff has failed to identify itself on any of the pending pleadings, the Court dismisses the complaint 1, 2 without prejudice. If Plaintiff elects to amend, it should ensure that its pleadings provide a factual and legal basis to join all defendants in a single suit (conclusory allegations will not suffice) and also support the exercise of personal jurisdiction as to each defendant; in this regard, the mere maintenance of a website, even a fully interactive website accessible in Illinois, remains insufficient. E.g., Advanced Tactical Ordnance Sys., LLC v. Real Action Paintball, Inc., 751 F.3d 796, 803 (7th Cir. 2014) ("Having an interactive website. should not open a defendant up to personal jurisdiction in every spot on the planet where that interactive website is accessible."); Rubik's Brand, Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 20-CV-5338, 2021 WL 825668, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 4, 2021) (screenshot evidence showing that an order could be placed by an Illinoisan, "amounts to nothing more than maintaining an interactive website that is accessible in Illinois," and "that alone cannot confer personal jurisdiction."). Mailed notice. |
