| 11/05/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: In this lawsuit, Plaintiff seeks to sue 22 separate defendants for patent infringement. See 3. Joinder of multiple Defendants in a single patent infringement suit remains appropriate "only if-- (1) any right to relief is asserted against the parties jointly, severally, or in the alternative with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences relating to the making, using, importing into the United States, offering for sale, or selling of the same accused product or process; and (2) questions of fact common to all defendants or counterclaim defendants will arise in the action. 35 U.S.C. § 299(a). Accused infringers "may not be joined in one action as defendants. based solely on allegations that they each have infringed the patent or patents in suit." Id. § 299(b). Plaintiff alleges that joinder remains proper under 35 U.S.C. § 299(a) because Defendants "are all making, selling, offering for sale and importing the same or substantially similar Infringing Products and this case will involve common questions of fact to all Defendants. Furthermore, Defendant Internet Stores share unique identifiers, such as using the same or substantially similar product images, same advertising, design elements and similarities of the Infringing Products offered for sale, establishing a logical relationship between them and suggesting that Defendants' operation arises out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." 3 29. Plaintiff alleges upon information and belief that "Defendants are an interrelated group of infringers working in active concert to knowingly and willfully make, use, offer for sale, sell, and/or import into the United States, including the State of Illinois and this judicial district, Infringing Products in the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." 3 15. "For example, based on sample products obtained by Plaintiff as well as Defendants' online listings of Infringing Products, the Infringing Products share the same or substantially similar designs and are often marked as coming from the same manufacturer in China. Defendants' online listings of Infringing Products also share the same or substantially similar webpage and marketing designs, including the same or substantially similar promotional pictures." Id. 16. The screenshot evidence offered by Plaintiff supports these allegations. See [3-3] [3-24]. As a result, the Court finds that Plaintiff may proceed on its complaint as to the 22 identified Defendants. Additionally, based upon Plaintiff's submissions, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion to seal 9 and motion for electronic service of process 8. The Court takes Plaintiff's motion for entry of a temporary restraining order 7 under advisement pending submission of a proposed order, consistent with this Court's standing orders. The 11/6/24 Notice of Motion date is stricken as to all motions. Mailed notice |
