| 36 | 2025-05-06 | (PUBLIC VERSION) SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 05/06/2025. Emailed notice |
| 35 | 2025-05-06 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 05/06/2025. Emailed notice |
| 34 | 2025-05-06 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) On review of the joinder filing, R. 21, the Court finds that joinder is proper (at least absent adversarial presentation). The advertising text is virtually verbatim, including more than a dozen words in the same sequence and referring oddly and uniquely to particular seasons and holidays. (2.) The Plaintiff's motion 17 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, trademark owners need only "prove defendant's sales only; defendant must prove all elements of costs or deduction claimed." 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a). (The same principles apply to the copyright claims. 17 U.S.C. 504(b).) To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendants, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion 15 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. A redacted version of the TRO will be entered publicly. The Plaintiff's request for electronic service of process is granted. The motion 16 for extra pages is granted. The tracking status hearing of 05/23/2025 remains in place, but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). The Plaintiff shall file a status report and, if appropriate, the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 05/16/2025. Emailed notice |

| 20 | 2025-05-01 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial tracking status hearing set for 05/23/2025 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the ***ATTACHED*** status report requirements (do ***not*** use templates from other cases) by 05/15/2025. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendants have not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendants have been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.
