NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by All Plaintiffs

MAILED trademark report with certified copies of Minute Entry and Default Judgment Order dated 06/15/2021, to Patent Trademark Office, Alexandria VA.

DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Manish S. Shah on 6/15/2021. Notices mailed.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: No defendants have appeared to object to the motion for entry of default judgment. The motion 34 is granted. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of plaintiff's marks irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. The infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by defendants, the value of the plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the court concludes that $100,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Enter Default Judgment Order. Terminate civil case. Notices mailed.

SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Manish S. Shah on 4/30/2021. Notices mailed.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's renewed ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, asset restraint, and expedited discovery 21 is granted. The plaintiff's written submissions establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping the infringement, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement of plaintiff's intellectual property and sales into Illinois), the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest because infringement interferes with the plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property and causes consumer confusion. Those rights cannot be fully compensated by money damages. 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 is an effective, perhaps the most effective, way to communicate with defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the court will take a fresh look at the asset freeze, joinder, and personal jurisdiction. A $10,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed TRO. Notices mailed.

1:Exhibit 1

3:Exhibit 3

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The motions to seal 8 and to file excess pages 9 are granted. The motion for a temporary restraining order and other relief 10 is denied without prejudice. As the court mentioned in the docket entry dated 4/15/21, it doubts that joinder of all defendants is appropriate here. Having reviewed the approximately 4,888 pages of evidence submitted in support of the TRO, the court sees no limiting principle to plaintiff's approach to joinder. If plaintiff insists on pursuing its complaint against the 587 defendants listed in its Schedule A, plaintiff must file a memorandum justifying joinder and must offer some evidence beyond similarity of websites and product to explain how all defendants are engaged in the same transaction or occurrence. Plaintiff is further advised that if the court granted temporary or preliminary injunctive relief against over 500 defendants, it would likely require security in the amount of at least $1,000,000. Alternatively, plaintiff can file an amended complaint and revised sealed Schedule A to present a case that has some reasonable prospect of being fairly evaluated by a court. Plaintiff can file a renewed TRO motion along with its memorandum in support of joinder or amended complaint. Plaintiff's memorandum or amended complaint is due by 5/3/21. Notices mailed.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The court is doubtful that joinder of 587 defendants is appropriate in this case (and other cases like it). The court assumes Plaintiff plans on seeking preliminary injunctive relief. In its moving papers plaintiff must demonstrate, and not with a guess, how every defendant is connected to the others through the same series of transactions or occurrences. See Estee Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 190 (N.D. Ill. 2020). Notices mailed.
