| 11/04/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: In this lawsuit, Plaintiff seeks to sue 36 separate defendants for trademark infringement. See [13], [14]. Joinder of multiple defendants in a single trademark infringement action remains appropriate only if the claims against the defendants are asserted "with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences," and a common question of law or fact exists as to all defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)-(B). In this regard, Plaintiff alleges that, "even though Defendants operate under multiple fictitious aliases, the e-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases often share unique identifiers, such as templates with common design elements that intentionally omit any contact information or other information for identifying Defendants or other Seller Aliases they operate or use. E-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases include other notable common features such as use of the same registration patterns, accepted payment methods, check-out methods, keywords, advertising tactics, similarities in price and quantities, the same incorrect grammar and misspellings, and/or the use of the same text and images. Additionally, Counterfeit Products for sale by the Seller Aliases bear similar irregularities and indicia of being counterfeit to one another, suggesting that the Counterfeit Products were manufactured by and come from a common source and that Defendants are interrelated." [13] 25. Plaintiff's allegations remain supported by screenshot evidence submitted along with the pleadings. See [19-1]. Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff may proceed on its complaint joining the identified Defendants. Additionally, based upon the materials submitted, this Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [3] and motion for electronic service of process [20]. The Court also grants Plaintiff's ex parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order [15]. Enter sealed temporary restraining order. Absent further order, this TRO will expire on 11/18/24. The 11/6/24 Notice of Motion date is stricken as to all motions. Mailed notice |
