07/12/2024 | FINAL DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani on 7/12/2024. Mailed notice |
07/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: No remaining defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [42] 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 [and copyrights] irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by defendants (plaintiff has failed to seek an accounting of profits), the value of plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $50,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Plaintiff has also certified and established [46] that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the objection deadline, but no objection to the motion for entry of default judgment has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Because no default judgment hearing has been requested, the default judgment hearing tentatively set for 7/18/2024 is stricken. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond posted in the amount of one hundred and twenty-two thousand dollar ($122,000) to Plaintiff or its counsel, Greer, Burns & Crain, Ltd. Enter separate Final Default Judgment Order. Civil case terminated.Mailed notice |

Accordingly, an order of default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before 7/11/2024.

A hearing, to be conducted via teleconferencing, may be requested by filing a Request for Hearing as a separate entry on the docket. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service.

05/29/2024 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani on 5/29/2024. Mailed notice |
05/29/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani:Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 30 is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk 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 in connection with entry of the TRO, 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 34 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this action and the motion, 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 Schedule A are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents. Because no preliminary injunction hearing has been requested, the preliminary injunction hearing tentatively set for 5/30/2024 is stricken. Summons were issued on 5/23/2024, and Defendants' responses to the complaint are due by 6/13/2024. Plaintiff should file any motion for entry of default and default judgment by 7/11/2024. If there are any remaining defendants whom default and default judgment are not being sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file a status report identifying each defendant against whom this case is proceeding and state whether the parties anticipate a settlement or further litigation. A telephone status hearing is set for 7/18/2024 at 9:15 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing but will be placed on mute. The call-in number is (855) 244-8681 and the access code is 172 628 1276##. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Mailed notice |

In connection with that motion, plaintiff must serve Defendant Nos. 11-122 with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by 5/28/2024."

05/16/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani on 5/16/2024. Mailed notice |
05/16/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiffs have filed a Memorandum [24] establishing joinder. At this preliminary stage and in the absence of adversarial presentation, the Court finds that joinder of 122 Defendants is proper at this time and this case may now proceed. Moreover, no defendants will be prejudiced by permitting joinder at this juncture. See Bose Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 334 F.R.D. 511, 517 (N.D. Ill. 2020). To the extent any defendant appears and objects to joinder, the Court will revisit the issue and is free to sever certain defendants from the case under Rule 21 at that time. Id. Plaintiffs' motion for leave to file under seal [3], ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery [16], and motion for electronic service of process [21] are granted. Plaintiffs' submissions establish that, were defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiffs' requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, plaintiffs may file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal. The Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this minute order shall also be placed under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motions cited above, plaintiffs' filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that their assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiffs' interests in identifying defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by plaintiffs shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to plaintiffs is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods, and 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 effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order at 11:45 a.m. on 5/16/2024. Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) if appropriate no later than 5/23/2024. Telephone status hearing set for 5/30/2024 at 9:15 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing but will be placed on mute. The call-in number is (855) 244-8681 and the access code is 172 628 1276##.
