| 05/22/2024 | MAILED original ten-thousand-dollar ($10,000) surety bond posted by Greer, Burns & Crain, Ltd. Greer, Burns & Crain, Ltd., 300 S. Wacker Dr. Suite 2500, Chicago, IL 60606 via certified mail # 7022 3330 0001 8848 9505. |
| 05/03/2024 | DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 5/3/2024. Mailed notice |
| 05/03/2024 | ORDER: No remaining defendant has appeared or responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 36. The motion 36 is granted. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order and the motion for entry of default and default judgment, and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that the infringement was willful, that damages should be awarded in the amount of $500,000 per defendant, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of its marks causes it irreparable harm in the form of diminished goodwill and brand confidence, damage to plaintiff's reputation, loss of exclusivity, and loss of future sales; that monetary damages are inadequate to address these harms; and that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction. No defendant has appeared to argue otherwise, thus, the court also finds that the balance of the hardships favors an injunction. The ten-thousand- dollar ($10,000) surety bond posted by plaintiff is hereby released to plaintiff's counsel. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to plaintiff's counsel Greer, Burns & Crain, Ltd., 300 S. Wacker Dr. Suite 2500, Chicago, IL 60606, via certified mail. Enter Final Judgment Order. Terminate civil case. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 5/3/2024. Mailed notice |

| 03/27/2024 | SUMMONS Returned Executed by Merch Traffic, LLC as to The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A on 3/27/2024, answer due 4/17/2024. 附件： 1:Declaration of Kahlia R. Halpern 2:(Exhibit A) |
| 03/20/2024 | CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Merch Traffic, LLC regarding set motion and R&R deadlines/hearings, 27 附件： 1:(Exhibit A) |
| 03/20/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has taken the motion for preliminary injunction 24 under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by 4/4/24. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice. For the reasons stated in the court's orders entering the TRO and plaintiff's memorandum in support of its motion for preliminary injunction 25, the TRO is further extended to and including the date on 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. |

| 03/08/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 3/8/2024: |
| 03/08/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the temporary restraining order, plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal [3], for electronic service of process [18], and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery [13] are granted. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, 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 an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest. 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 other judges in this district have noted, there may be reason to question both the propriety of the joinder of all defendants in this one action and whether plaintiff genuinely intends to pursue an accounting (which plaintiff asserts as justification for an asset freeze), 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 revisit the asset freeze and joinder. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. |
