| 08/23/2024 | SUMMONS Issued as to Defendant The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A |
| 08/22/2024 | PUBLIC REDACTED TEMPORARY Restraining Order signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 8/22/2024. Emailed notice (cn). Modified on 8/22/2024 |
| 08/22/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY Restraining Order signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 8/22/2024. Emailed notice |
| 08/22/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the joinder memorandum, R. 20, for now the case may progress with the five Defendant given the use of the same unique brand name and (for four of the five Defendants) same exact product. (The advertising text is not unique enough to be pertinent.) The Plaintiff shall include a joinder discussion when filing TRO motions in other cases before Judge Chang. The Plaintiff's motion 14 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. 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 17 U.S.C. § 504(b), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, copyright owners need only prove "the infringer's gross revenue"; the defendant must prove expenses. 17 U.S.C. §504(b). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants 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 Defendants, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff shall promptly move the case forward and promptly accomplish electronic service when appropriate. The tracking status hearing of 08/23/2024 is reset to 09/06/2024 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Plaintiff shall file a status report by 09/03/2024, and if appropriate file an extension motion on the TRO (or preliminary injunction motion, if appropriate) by 08/30/2024. Emailed notice |
| 08/06/2024 | MEMORANDUM Establishing that Joinder is Proper Pursuant to Minute Entry Order 19 |
| 07/30/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff's motion 12 to seal is granted for now, given the asset-restraint request. The Plaintiff's motion 13 to use extra pages is granted. On review of R. 11 and R. 16, the Plaintiff shall file a Joinder Memorandum explaining why the five Defendants are properly joined under Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 18789 (N.D. Ill. 2020). The memorandum may be filed under seal for now and is due by 08/12/2024. The notice of motion for 07/31/2024 is vacated.
