| 05/24/2024 | RETURN of U.S. Post Office Receipt, article no. 7019 2280 0000 0962 8620 (Received by mail in the Clerk's Office on 5/24/24.) |
| 05/17/2024 | MAILED Copyright report to Registrar, Washington DC. 附件： 1:(Closing Order dated 5/17/2024) |
| 05/17/2024 | MAILED original ten-thousand-dollar ($10,000) surety bond 19 posted by Plaintiff. Released to Plaintiff's Counsel, Keith Vogt, 33 West Jackson Boulevard, #2W, Chicago, Illinois 60604 via certified mail # 7019 2280 0000 0962 8620. |
| 05/17/2024 | DEFAULT Judgment signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 5/17/2024. Mailed notice |
| 05/17/2024 | ORDER: No defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment, 28. The motion is granted. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order and the motion for entry of default and default judgment, and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that the infringement was willful, that damages should be awarded in the amount of $100,000 per defendant, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of its marks causes it irreparable harm in the form of diminished goodwill and brand confidence, damage to plaintiff's reputation, loss of exclusivity, and loss of future sales; that monetary damages are inadequate to address these harms; and that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction. No defendant has appeared to argue otherwise; thus, the court also finds that the balance of the hardships favors an injunction. The $10,000 surety bond posted by plaintiff is hereby released to plaintiff's counsel. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to plaintiff's counsel Keith Vogt, 33 West Jackson Boulevard, #2W, Chicago, Illinois 60604, via certified mail. Enter Final Judgment Order. Terminate civil case. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 5/17/2024. Mailed notice |
| 05/16/2024 | STATUS Report by Albert Koetsier |
| 05/15/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal, 45, which seeks to voluntarily dismiss defendants No. 39 Zhuoshengben., Ltd., No. 42 Shuntuo., Ltd, No. 43 Yanyijiang under Rule 41(a)(1). Again, plaintiff is reminded that Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."); see also 36. The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by dropping defendants No. 39 Zhuoshengben., Ltd., No. 42 Shuntuo., Ltd, No. 43 Yanyijiang from the complaint, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. Plaintiff has already filed the amended complaint on the docket. See 46. Defendants No. 39 Zhuoshengben., Ltd., No. 42 Shuntuo., Ltd, No. 43 Yanyijiang are terminated. |

| 04/11/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal, 37, which seeks to voluntarily dismiss the defendants named in that motion under Rule 41(a)(1). But plaintiff is reminded again that Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. See Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."); see also 36. The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by removing the defendants named in, 37, from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. Plaintiff has already filed an amended Schedule A on the docket, 38. |

| 03/20/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal 33, which seek to voluntarily dismiss the defendants named in those motions under Rule 41(a)(1). But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by removing the defendants named in 33 from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings.

| 02/21/2024 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 2/21/2024: |
| 02/21/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: No defendant has appeared or filed an objection to the motion for preliminary injunction, 20. A preliminary injunction is appropriate for the same reasons a TRO was granted and is unopposed. Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction 20 is granted. Enter Preliminary Injunction. The Clerk is directed to unseal any previously sealed documents in this matter. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to add all defendants listed on Exhibit 1 to the court's docket within three business days. Instructions on how to do so may be located on the court's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/instructions. |
| 02/07/2024 | CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Albert Koetsier regarding set motion and R&R deadlines/hearings, 23 |
| 02/07/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has taken the motion for preliminary injunction 20 under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by 2/16/2024. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice. For the reasons stated in the court's order entering the TRO, the TRO is further extended to and including the date on which 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 FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective."

| 01/26/2024 | TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 1/26/2024: Modified on 2/22/2024. |
| 01/26/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in the motions (12, 13, and 14) filed by Albert Koetsier, the supporting memoranda (15, 16) and the temporary restraining order, plaintiff's motions for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and service of process by mail and/or electronic publication 14, motion for leave to file excess pages 13, and motion to seal 12, are granted. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, it is likely assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendants. As other judges in this district have noted, there may be reason to question both the propriety of the joinder of all defendants in this one action and whether plaintiff genuinely intends to pursue an accounting, but at this preliminary stage, plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence of coordinated activity and the prospect of an accounting to justify the requested relief as to all defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. If any defendant appears and objects, the court will revisit the asset freeze and joinder. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. |
