MOTION by Plaintiff Akamatsu Takayoshi for extension of time Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for an Extension of Time to File an Amended Complaint and Supplemental Memorandum in Support of Joinder

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Initial status hearing is set for 5/20/25 at 9:30 a.m. in person in Courtroom 1719. By 5/13/25,the parties shall file a Joint Initial Status Report that complies with the Court's standing order, which can be found on the Court's website. If the defendant(s) have not been served by the initial status hearing date, counsel for Plaintiff must contact the Courtroom Deputy to reschedule the status hearing and the date for filing the Joint Initial Status Report.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal is granted 7. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages is granted 10. Plaintiff's motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order is denied 11. Plaintiff's memorandum in support of its motion for a temporary restraining order asserts that plaintiff is experiencing "ongoing" and "immediate" harm owing to defendants' alleged infringement of plaintiff's intellectual property. See 12 at 2, 20, 23, 26. This representation is critical in light of Rule 65(b)(1)(A)'s requirement that a court "issue a temporary restraining order without written or oral notice to the adverse party or its attorney only if specific facts in an affidavit or a verified complaint clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the movant before the adverse party can be heard in opposition." Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b). Yet plaintiff has submitted documents indicating only that defendants offered for sale the allegedly infringing products in July and August 2024six or seven months ago. See generally 13, 14, 15. Given the lack of evidence that any alleged infringing activity is ongoing, the Court denies plaintiff's motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order without prejudice to renewal. See also Wham-O Holding, Ltd. and Intersport Corp. d/b/a Wham-O v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified in Schedule A, 24 CV 12523, ECF No. 39 at 2 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 20, 2025). Separately, upon review of the complaint and the accompanying Schedule A, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 51 defendants in a single action. By 3/24/25, 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 Anagragam 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 3/24/25 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why that smaller subset of defendants is properly joined.
