01/09/2025 | ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff COLLIS ECOMMERCE LTD by Angela Marie Nieves |
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. |
12/31/2024 | CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff COLLIS ECOMMERCE LTD regarding order on motion for preliminary injunction, set motion and R&R deadlines/hearings, 31 |
12/30/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction [29] is taken under advisement. A telephonic motion hearing is set for 1/14/25, at 9:45 AM. Attorneys/parties may appear by dialing: 1-650-479-3207 and entering access code: 2311 499 1046. No attendee code is required. Please review in advance the policies governing telephonic hearings that can be found on Judge Hunt's webpage on the court website. The motion may be considered unopposed as to any Defendant who does not file an objection by 1/13/25 and/or appear at the telephonic hearing. For the reasons stated in the Court's initial order entering the TRO and the order extending the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Plaintiff must serve a copy of this minute order upon all affected Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and promptly file proof of that service. Emailed notice. |

12/02/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 12/2/2024. Emailed notice. |
12/02/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion for Entry of Temporary Restraining Order, For Expedited Discovery, and Service of Process by E-mail and/or Electronic Publication [13] 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. The Court finds that (1) the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois); (2) the harm to plaintiff is irreparable and cannot be fully compensated by money damages; (3) an injunction is in the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods and infringement interferes with Plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property; and (4) 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 way to communicate with these online marketplace defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the Court will revisit the asset freeze, joinder, and personal jurisdiction. A $1,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. No appearance is necessary on 12/10/24. Emailed notice. |
12/02/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's Motion to Exceed Page Limitation [12] is granted. Plaintiff may exceed the 15-page limit by filing a 35-page Motion for Entry of a Temporary Restraining Order [12] instanter. No appearance is necessary on 12/10/24. Emailed notice. |
11/27/2024 | NOTICE of Motion by Joel Benjamin Rothman for presentment of motion for leave to file excess pages[12], Sealed motion[13] before Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 12/10/2024 at 10:00 AM. |

11/27/2024 | MOTION by Plaintiff COLLIS ECOMMERCE LTD for leave to file excess pages |
11/21/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion for Leave to File Certain Documents under Seal and Proceed under a Pseudonym Temporarily 5 is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were Defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of a temporary restraining order, there is a significant risk that Defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Conversely, there are no exceptional circumstances that would justify allowing Plaintiff to conceal its own identity: Plaintiff anticipates filing an ex parte TRO motion, and the identity of the defendant entities will be placed under seal during the pendency of the ex parte proceedings. Given these protections for Plaintiff's legitimate interests, the countervailing strong public interest in knowing who is seeking recourse in the federal courts compels the Court to deny Plaintiff's request to conceal its own identity, even initially. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016); see also Doe v. Loyola Univ. Chicago, 100 F.4th 910, 913 (7th Cir. 2024). Thus, the request to seal Plaintiff's Complaint 8 (which, unlike the original complaint 1, complies with FRCP 10(a) by "nam[ing] all the parties" including Plaintiff) and the exhibits containing Plaintiff's intellectual property registrations [8-1], [8-2], and [8-3] is denied. Conversely, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, Plaintiff may file under seal its Schedule A [8-4], Amended Schedule A 9 and anticipated TRO motion and accompanying documents. The Clerk's Office is directed, forthwith, to (1) update the docket to reflect that the Plaintiff's name is "COLLIS ECOMMERCE LTD"; and (2) unseal the following filings: 8, [8-1], and [8-2], and [8-3]. The documents filed at [8-4] and 9 shall remain under seal pending further order of the Court. Emailed notice. |
