| 08/17/2023 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado on 8/17/2023. Mailed notice. |
| 08/17/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: 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 [12], for leave to file excess page, [13], and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and electronic service of process [14], 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 the individuals and entities operating Defendant, stopping Defendant's 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. See, e.g., Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A," No. 20-CV-05049, 2021 WL 2894166, at *5 (N.D. Ill. July 9, 2021) (finding electronic service proper in similar circumstances). Expedited discovery is warranted to identify Defendants and to implement the asset freeze. The Court also notes that, while some judges in this district, including the undersigned, have questioned the propriety of joinder of numerous defendants in such "Schedule A" cases, the Court finds that there are sufficient facts in the record to support joinder of the 18 named defendants in the Amended Schedule A at this time. The record reflects the Defendants each sell an identical product, with an identical or nearly identical product description, for around the same price, all on the same commerce platform. The Court thus finds joinder appropriate at least at this early pleading stage. If any defendant appears, they are free to raise any objection to joinder. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. |
