| 12/02/2024 | FULL SATISFACTION of Judgment as to certain Defendants |
| 10/28/2024 | RETURN of U.S. Post Office, receipt No. 9589 0710 5270 0579 7799 08. (Received by mail in the Clerk's Office on 10/28/2024) |
| 10/18/2024 | MAILED original ten-thousand dollars ($10,000) surety bond posted by Sullivan & Carter, LLP at 2743 N. Ridgeway Ave. Chicago, IL 60647, via certified mail 9589 0710 5270 0579 7799 08. |
| 10/16/2024 | DEFAULT FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 10/16/2024: mailed notice |
| 10/16/2024 | ORDER: No defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 31. 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 statutory damages should be awarded in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) per defendant, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of its marks and copyrights 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 ten-thousand dollars ($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 Sullivan & Carter, LLP at 2743 N. Ridgeway Ave. Chicago, IL 60647, via certified mail. Enter Final Judgment Order. Terminate civil case. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 10/16/2024: mailed notice |

If no objections are filed, the court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice. |

| 05/21/2024 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 5/21/2024. Mailed notice. |
| 05/21/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: No defendant has appeared or filed an objection to the motion for preliminary injunction [21]. A preliminary injunction is appropriate for the same reasons a TRO was granted and is unopposed. Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction, [21], 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. Mailed notice. |

| 04/25/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to extend the TRO, 18 is granted. Under Rule 65(b)(2), the court finds good cause to extend the TRO for an additional 14 days to prevent defendants from modifying registration data and content, changing hosts, redirecting traffic to other websites in their control, and moving any assets from accounts in U.S.-based financial institutions, including service provider accounts, to offshore accounts. The court's TRO, 17, entered on 4/11/24 is extended until 5/9/24. |

| 04/11/2024 | SUMMONS Issued as to Defendant The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A |
| 04/11/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 4/11/2024: |
| 04/11/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in the motions (9, 11) filed by plaintiff, the supporting memoranda (10, 12) and the temporary restraining order, plaintiff's motions for electronic service of process 11, and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery, 9, 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. |
| 04/10/2024 | AMENDED complaint by XYZ Corporation against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A 附件： 1:(Exhibit 1) |
| 04/03/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has reviewed plaintiff's motion to file certain documents under seal and to temporarily proceed under a pseudonym, [5], as well as the accompanying memorandum, [6]. The motion to file certain documents under seal and to temporarily proceed under a pseudonym, [5] is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested temporary restraining order, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the court. Conversely, there are no exceptional circumstances that would justify allowing plaintiff to conceal its own identity. Given these protections for plaintiff's legitimate interests, the countervailing strong public interest in knowing who is seeking recourse in the federal courts compels the court to deny plaintiff's request to conceal its own identity, even initially. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016). Such exceptional circumstances are not present here. Accordingly, plaintiff must file an amended complaint disclosing its name and asserted copyrights by 4/10/24. |
