| Sep 28, 2020 | 34 | preliminary injunction (15) Docket Text: PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 9/28/2020. (ma,) |
| Sep 28, 2020 | 33 | order on motion for preliminary injunction (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction [25] 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 established [29] that it provided electronic notice to defendants of its motion for a preliminary injunction, but no objection 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. Mailed notice (ma,) |

As stated on the record, Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction is due to be granted; a separate preliminary injunction order will be entered forthwith. Attorney Adam Urbanczyk's oral motion to amend his notice of appearance is granted; because the entity known as "Refuse to be Usual" is not a party to this case, Mr. Urbanczyk's amended appearance [31] will be on behalf of Defendant runnickyrun only. The Clerk is directed to terminate "Refuse to be Usual" as a party to this case. Mailed notice (ma,) |

| Aug 28, 2020 | 20 | SEALED Order (17) Docket Text: SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER signed by the Honorable John F. Kness on 8/28/2020. Mailed notice (ags) |
| Aug 28, 2020 | 19 | order on motion to seal document (2) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal [5], leave to file an oversized memorandum [7], and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order [8] are granted. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were Defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of Plaintiff's 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, Plaintiff may for now file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal and appearing at docket entries [1-1], [1-2], and [6]. In addition, for the purpose of these motions, 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), that the harm to plaintiff 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. 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) |
