MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: The Court grants in part and denies in part Plaintiff's motion for leave to file documents under seal [4]. Plaintiff may file Schedule A and documents related to the identity of defendants under seal at this time, but it must file unredacted copies of the complaint, Exhibit 1 to the complaint, its motion for a temporary restraining order, memorandum in support of the temporary restraining order, and supporting declarations. The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages [6]. The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order [7] without prejudice. Plaintiff should file unredacted copies on the docket by 4/4/2025. Plaintiff filed this case against 312 defendants selling on multiple platforms for design patent, copyright, and trademark infringement. Under Rule 20, a plaintiff may join multiple defendants in a single action if: (1) the claims against them are asserted with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences, and (2) a question of law or fact common to all defendants exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)(B). In reviewing the filings in this case, it does not appear that joinder is proper as to all Defendants. As the Court stated in Roadget Business Pte. Ltd. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Cos., Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright, trademark, or patent in the same way, without more, does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find joinder proper. No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *67 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024). The Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by 4/15/2025, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Court's order in Roadget. The Court also cautions Plaintiff that, in order to support preliminary injunctive relief, it must show that the named defendants' alleged infringement remains active and ongoing. The evidence submitted in connection with the TRO shows that some of the alleged infringement dates back to July 2024. The Court thus orders Plaintiff to ensure that it only seeks preliminary injunctive relief from defendants whose alleged infringement remains active and ongoing. The Court sets a status hearing for 4/29/2025 at 9:30 AM. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: (650) 479-3207, Access Code: 2314 361 1508. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking.
