| 10/11/2024 | MOTION by Plaintiff CG, Inc. MOTION TO EXTEND TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND TO COMPEL COMPLIANCE WITH THE COURT'S ORDER |

| 10/02/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 10/02/2024. Emailed notice (mw,) |
| 10/02/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the Plaintiff's motion 19 for temporary restraining order and other relief, the motion is granted in part, specifically granted as to the trademark-infringement claim only. 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 Defendant 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 Defendant, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion 17 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. By 10/09/2024, the Plaintiff shall email a redacted version of the TRO that can be entered publicly (redacting the name of Defendant and omitting Amended Schedule A). The extension motion 25 on service is granted in part in that electronic service of process is authorized (per the TRO) and the Plaintiff shall accomplish service by 11/04/2024. The motion 24 to file the extension motion under seal is granted. The Plaintiff shall file an extension motion on the TRO (if appropriate) by 10/11/2024. The tracking status hearing of 10/18/2024 remains in place. Emailed notice |

| 08/02/2024 | ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff CG, Inc. by Zareefa Burki Flener |
| 08/02/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) On the Plaintiff's motion 9 to seal the amended complaint and other filings, the motion is granted in part and denied in part. As to Schedule A, the motion is granted (just for now), given the need for further consideration of the provisional-relief requests. But an insufficient showing has been made to seal the Plaintiff's identity. On or before 08/12/2024, the Plaintiff shall file a public amended complaint and a public version of the TRO motion, R. 12, that unredacts the Plaintiff's identity and redacts only Amended Schedule A and the exhibits showing the online sellers. (2.) The prior motion 4 to seal is terminated as moot given the amended complaint. (3.) The motion 10 for extra pages is granted. (4.) On review of the amended complaint and Amended Schedule A, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 21 Defendants, even though that is fewer than the original Schedule A. The Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 18789 (N.D. Ill. 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 08/16/2024. In lieu of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline, the Plaintiff may file a second amended complaint with either (a) one defendant or (b) another subset of the defendants along with a memo explaining why joinder of those particular defendants is proper. The Court notes that the joinder inquiry does not mean that the rest of the TRO motion is well taken; the Court needs more time to deliberate on the TRO motion even if the joinder issue is resolved. (5.) The tracking status hearing of 08/09/2024 is reset to 08/30/2024 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Emailed notice |
