01/14/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order [14] is taken under advisement. By 1/24/2025, the plaintiff is directed to file a memorandum explaining why joinder is proper under the America Invents Act, 35 U.S.C. § 299, particularly given that not all defendants seem to sell the same product. See, e.g., Oakley, Inc. v. Schedule A, No. 21-cv-00536, 2021 WL 308882, at *1-2 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 30, 2021) (propriety of joinder tied to sale of same accused product, and allegation "that the defendants all sold infringing products" insufficient). Mailed notice |

12/27/2024 | 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 12/27/2024: Mailed notice. |

12/19/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motion for a TRO [7] is denied without prejudice. While the plaintiff's declaration asserts that "[e]ach Defendant stood ready, willing, and able to sell and ship their Infringing Products to the State of Illinois" and that "Plaintiff also purchased the Infringing Products from the Amazon Defendants, and Defendants indeed sold and shipped the products to Illinois," not all defendants used Amazon for a sales platform. To establish personal jurisdiction over all defendants, even those not using Amazon, and to demonstrate some likelihood of success on the merits, the plaintiff must show actual evidence of the defendants' willingness and ability to ship to Illinois, rather than offer a conclusory declaration that such evidence exists. In addition, should the plaintiff choose to re-file its motion, it will also be required to submit a supplemental document (1) analyzing which ornamental components are shared between each accused product and the asserted design patent, and (2) analyzing which of those shared features are not present in the prior art. This requires a product-by-product analysis. In other words, the plaintiff must provide, for each of the accused defendants' allegedly infringing products, an analysis of which components are shared or not shared with specified design patent as well as with the prior art. See ABC Corp. I v. Schedule A, 52 F.4th 934, 942-43 (district courts are "required to conduct the ordinary observer analysis" for design patents "through the lens of the prior art"). However, the plaintiff's motion for alternative service [8] and motion to seal [9] are granted. Mailed notice |
