| 09/05/2024 | SEALED EXHIBIT by Plaintiff General Motors LLC Schedule A regarding amended complaint[23] |
| 09/05/2024 | AMENDED complaint by General Motors LLC against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A 附件： 1:Exhibit 1 2:Exhibit 2 3:Exhibit 3 4:Exhibit 4 |
| 09/03/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff seeks to sue 80 separately identified Defendants in this single trademark infringement suit. Joinder of multiple defendants in a single trademark infringement action remains appropriate only if the claims against the Defendants are asserted "with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences," and a common question of law or fact exists as to all Defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)-(B). In this regard, Plaintiff alleges that "E-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases share unique identifiers establishing a logical relationship between them and that Defendants' counterfeiting operation arises out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." [1] 3. Plaintiff further alleges that "the e-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases often share unique identifiers, such as templates with common design elements that intentionally omit any contact information or other information for identifying Defendants or other Seller Aliases they operate or use. E-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases include other notable common features such as use of the same registration patterns, accepted payment methods, check-out methods, keywords, advertising tactics, similarities in price and quantities, the same incorrect grammar and misspellings, and/or the use of the same text and images. Additionally, Counterfeit GM Products for sale by the Seller Aliases bear similar irregularities and indicia of being counterfeit to one another, suggesting that the Counterfeit GM Products were manufactured by and come from a common source and that Defendants are interrelated." Id. 21. This latter allegation constitutes a legal conclusion, which the Court need not accept. Moreover, the suggestion that Defendants' sites are so similar that they must be related remains unsupported in the screenshot evidence submitted by Plaintiff. In fact, that evidence shows a wide variety of photos, products, and site designs. As a result, the Court lacks a basis to find joinder of all 80 Defendants in this single action appropriate. To the extent Plaintiff can, consistent with its obligations under Rule 11, amend its complaint to allege facts to support joinder, it may do so by 9/30/24. If Plaintiff fails to comply, the Court will dismiss this case. If Plaintiff elects to amend its complaint, it should also review its allegations relating to personal jurisdiction as to each Defendant; the mere maintenance of a website accessible in Illinois (which appears to be all Plaintiff relies upon, see [14] at 3) remains insufficient to confer personal jurisdiction. See, e.g., Am. Bridal & Prom Indus. Ass'n, Inc. v. The Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 192 F. Supp. 3d 924, 93435 (N.D. Ill. 2016) (simply alleging the existence of purported counterfeiting via an interactive website is not enough, by itself, to confer personal jurisdiction); Advanced Tactical Ordnance Sys., LLC v. Real Action Paintball, Inc., 751 F.3d 796, 803 (7th Cir. 2014) ("Having an interactive website. should not open a defendant up to personal jurisdiction in every spot on the planet where that interactive website is accessible."); Rubik's Brand, Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 20-CV-5338, 2021 WL 825668, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 4, 2021) (screenshot evidence showing that an order could be placed by an Illinoisan, "amounts to nothing more than maintaining an interactive website that is accessible in Illinois," and "that alone cannot confer personal jurisdiction."). The Court dismisses without prejudice the complaint [1], denies without prejudice all pending motions [3], [13], [18], and strikes the 9/4/24 Notice of Motion date. Mailed notice |
