| 12/20/2024 | ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/20/2024: Mailed notice. |

| 12/16/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 12/16/24. |
| 12/16/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Motion hearing held on 12/16/24. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 16 is granted. Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and service of process by email and/or electronic publication 17 is granted. Plaintiff's written submissions establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping the infringement, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits, the infringement is ongoing, the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest because infringement interferes with the plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property. Those rights cannot be fully compensated by money damages. There is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective, perhaps the most effective, way to communicate with defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the court will take a fresh look at the asset freeze, joinder, electronic service, and personal jurisdiction. The court finds that security in the amount of $10,000 is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Plaintiff is directed to submit its proposed order to the Court's proposed order mailbox on or before 12/16/24. |

| 11/14/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Plaintiff's motion to seal 7 granted. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 223 defendants 2 and multiple trademark registrations 1 in a single action. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 12/11/24, plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. Plaintiff should also reference this Court's order in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28, where the Court expressed its joinder-related concerns in cases of this size. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 12/11/24 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others.
