| 04/10/2024 | MAILED copyright report to Registrar, Washington DC |
| 04/09/2024 | DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 4/9/2024. Emailed notice. |
| 04/09/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 34 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by Plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, Plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of Plaintiff's marks irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. Because this infringement was willful and considering the value of Plaintiff's brand as well as the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $15,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against each remaining defendant. Enter Final Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Emailed notice. |

| 03/20/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 34 against the remaining defendants identified in Second Amended Schedule A 20 [34-1]. All remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default against all defendants on Amended Schedule A is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment by the defaulted Defendants must be filed on or before 4/3/24. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining affected Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. No appearance is necessary on 4/3/24. Emailed notice. |

| 03/07/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Preliminary injunctive relief has been entered against the remaining defendants who have not appeared in this case 32. Summons were executed on 2/22/24, and Defendants' responses to the complaint are due by 3/14/24 27. By 4/12/24, Plaintiff is ordered to file any motions for entry of default pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a). If there are any remaining defendants against whom default and default judgment are not being sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file by the same date a status report identifying each defendant against whom this case is proceeding and state whether the parties anticipate a settlement or further litigation. Emailed notice. |
| 03/07/2024 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 3/7/2024. Emailed notice. |
| 03/07/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Telephonic motion hearing held. Defendants failed to appear. Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 24, which the Court now considers unopposed because no Defendant filed a notice of objection by the 3/6/24 deadline or appeared at the hearing. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk that Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court on the record and in connection with entry of the TRO 22, the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established 29 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter Preliminary Injunction order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Second Amended Schedule A 20 are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously sealed documents. Emailed notice. |

| 02/23/2024 | CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Albert Koetsier regarding order on motion for preliminary injunction, terminate hearings, set motion and R&R deadlines/hearings, 28 |
| 02/23/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction 24 is taken under advisement. A telephonic motion hearing is set for 3/7/24, at 9:45 AM. Attorneys/parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: 877-336-1828, Access Code: 4082461. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting court proceedings. The motion may be considered unopposed as to any Defendant who does not file an objection by 3/6/24 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. No appearance is necessary on 2/27/24. Emailed notice. |
| 02/22/2024 | MOTION by Plaintiff Albert Koetsier for preliminary injunction |
| 02/20/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 2/20/2024. Emailed to Plaintiff's counsel. |
| 02/20/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery and service of process by email and electronic publication [15] 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 $4,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Emailed notice. |

| 02/15/2024 | SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff Albert Koetsier Second Amended Schedule A to Complaint 1 ; Schedule A to Complaint 2 ; and [Amended] Schedule A to Complaint 12 |
| 02/02/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 13 is granted. Schedule A 2, Amended Schedule A 12, and Exhibit 2 to the Koetsier Declaration 17 shall remain sealed until further court order. Plaintiff names 17 defendants in this single case and seeks ex parte TRO relief against each of them 15. However, after reviewing the complaint 1, the Court questions whether plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2). See Estee Lauder Cosmetics, Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020); Art Ask Agency v. Individuals, Corps. Ltd. Liab. Cos., P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 21-cv-06197, 2021 WL 5493226 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2021); Bose Corp. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 334 F.R.D. 511 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 2/16/24, Plaintiff is ordered to file a supplemental memorandum that refers to specific facts alleged in its filings and provides citations to specific screenshots associated with each Schedule A defendant to demonstrate that joinder is proper. Alternatively, by the same deadline, plaintiff may file under seal a second amended schedule A with a subset of the defendants and an amended declaration that explains how each of these defendants is properly joined with each other. Any amended declaration must attach labeled exhibits that contain screenshots or other information specific only to the defendants listed on amended Schedule A. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 14 is granted. The motion for a TRO 15 is taken under advisement until the joinder issue is resolved. No appearance is necessary on 2/7/24. Emailed notice. |
