| 37 | 2025-05-02 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis:The Court grants plaintiff's motion to extend the TRO entered on 4/21/25 by 14 days until 5/19/25 26. No appearance is required on 5/5/25. |

| 34 | 2025-04-21 | SEALED Temporary Restraining Order Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 4/21/25. |
| 33 | 2025-04-21 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order, a temporary asset restraint (up to $24,433.12), and expedited discovery 17 is granted. Plaintiff's ex parte motion for electronic service of process 20 is also granted. No appearance is required on 4/22/25. Based on plaintiff's written submissions, the Court finds that plaintiff has established (1) a likelihood of success on the merits; (2) the harm to plaintiff is irreparable and cannot be fully compensated by money damages; (3) an injunction is in the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods and infringement interferes with plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property; and (4) there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. plaintiff's written submissions also establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets associated with the sale of the infringing products would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiff's interests in stopping the infringement and obtaining an accounting. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with these online marketplace defendants. The Court decides these motions, though, without the benefit of adversarial presentation. If any defendant were to appear and object, the Court is willing revisit issues related to, among other topics, the asset restraint, joinder, personal jurisdiction, and electronic service of process. A $2,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter order, as modified by the Court. |

| 15 | 2025-04-01 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: The Court grants plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 3. But upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 99 defendants in a single action. By 4/15/25, plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of this Court's orders in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 28, 2024), and Anagram International v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12194, Dkt. 87 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 21, 2025). In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 4/15/25 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why that smaller subset of defendants is properly joined. No motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order should be filed in this matter without counsel first consulting this Court's order in Wham-O Holding v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12523, Dkt. 39 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 20, 2025). |
