05/21/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 05/21/2024. Emailed notice |
05/21/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) On review of Amended Schedule A and R. 20, joinder of those five Defendants is appropriate given the same allegedly infringing item, the seven exact same images used for advertisement, and the same unique 14-word sequence to describe the item. (2.) The Plaintiff's motion 18 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, trademark owners need only "prove defendant's sales only; defendant must prove all elements of costs or deduction claimed." 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendants, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion 7 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. By 05/28/2024, the Plaintiff shall email a redacted version of the TRO that can be entered publicly (redacting the names of Defendants and omitting Amended Schedule A). The Plaintiff's motion 17 for extra pages is granted. The tracking status hearing of 05/24/2024 is reset to 06/07/2024 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, if appropriate, the Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 05/31/2024. Emailed notice |

04/26/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial tracking status hearing set for 05/24/2024 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 05/16/2024. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendants have not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendants have been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.
