| Sep 24, 2020 | 25 | order on motion for extension of time (1) Docket Text: ORDER Extending Temporary Restraining Order: THIS CAUSE being before the Court on EMOJI COMPANY GmbH's Ex Parte Motion to Extend the Temporary Restraining Order, and this Court, having considered the matter, hereby GRANTS Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion to Extend the Temporary Restraining Order. This extensionis justified by the same circumstances that justified issuance of the initial TRO and the need to effectuate the initial TRO without notifying the Defendants. Accordingly, the existing Temporary Restraining Order is extended for an additional fourteen (14) days, to and including October 9,2020. SO ORDERED. Signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 9/24/2020.Mailed notice(mjc, ) |

| Sep 11, 2020 | 22 | SEALED Order (17) Docket Text: SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 9/11/2020. Mailed notice (ags) |
| Sep 11, 2020 | 21 | order on motion to seal document (2) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: The Court grants Plaintiff's ex parte motion [8] for a temporary restraining order, temporary transfer of the defendant domain names, temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and service of process by email and/or electronic publication; Plaintiff's motion [5] for leave to file under seal; and motion [7] for leave to file excess pages. For the purpose of this motion, Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, and as noted above, 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 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. 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. 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 will pursue an accounting (which Plaintiff asserts as justification for an asset freeze), but at this preliminary stage, the court is persuaded that 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. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Mailed notice (ags) |
