| Dec 1, 2021 | 24 | order on motion for extension of time (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to extend the TRO [23] is granted. Under Rule 65(b)(2), the court finds good cause to extend the TRO for 14 days to prevent defendants from transferring assets from their U.S. based financial accounts, modifying the names of their internet stores, or removing their internet stores from their current platforms. The court's TRO [22] entered on 11/19/2021 is extended until 12/17/2021. (rao, ) |

| Nov 19, 2021 | 22 | SEALED Order (19) Docket Text: TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 11/19/2021:(rao, ) Modified on 12/16/2021 (bg, ). |
| Nov 19, 2021 | 21 | order on motion to seal document (2) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the temporary restraining order, Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal [7] and to file excess pages [8] are granted. Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, electronic service of process, and expedited discovery [9] is 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 timely 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. (rao, ) |
| Nov 16, 2021 | 20 | text entry (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: This case was reassigned from Judge Gettleman to this court on 10/25/21. [19]. Plaintiff has filed a motion for a TRO. [9]. Per this court's standing order in Schedule A cases found at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/judge-info.aspx?tdDC7jWNEcPS6Px28PZuWg==, proposed orders in Schedule A cases should conform to the templates posted on this court's website. When a plaintiff submits a proposed temporary restraining order, plaintiff should also submit a document that shows in tracked changes any differences between plaintiff's proposed order and the relevant template order. Plaintiff is therefore required to submit a proposed TRO order following the court's instructions to proposed_order_pacold@ilnd.uscourts.gov by 11/19/21. (rao, ) |
