PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 3/19/2024. Emailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Telephonic motion hearing held. Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction [26], which the Court now considers unopposed because no Defendant filed a notice of objection by the 3/18/24 deadline or appeared at the hearing. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk that Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court on the record and in connection with entry of the TRO [23], the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established [29] that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter Preliminary Injunction Order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Amended Schedule A [21] are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously sealed documents. Emailed notice.

CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Brigid Ashwood regarding order on motion for preliminary injunction, terminate hearings, set motion and R&R deadlines/hearings, [30]

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: In-person hearing on Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction [26] is reset to a telephonic hearing on 3/19/24, at 9:30 AM. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the status hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: 877-336-1828, Access Code: 4082461. Members of the public and media may call in to listen to the hearing. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting court proceedings. The motion may be considered unopposed as to any Defendant who does not file an objection by 3/18/24, and/or appear at the telephonic hearing. For the reasons stated in the Court's initial order entering the TRO and the order extending the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Plaintiff must serve a copy of this minute order upon all affected Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and promptly file proof of that service. No appearance is necessary on 3/12/24. Emailed notice.

SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 3/1/2024. Emailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery and service of process by email and electronic publication [15] is granted. 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. The Court finds that (1) the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois); (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. 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. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the Court will revisit the asset freeze, joinder, and personal jurisdiction. A $1,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Emailed notice.

SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff Brigid Ashwood Second Amended Schedule A to Complaint 1 ; Schedule A to Complaint 2 ; and [Amended] Schedule A to Complaint 12

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 13 is granted. Schedule A 2, Amended Schedule A 12, and Exhibit 2 to the Declaration of Brigid Ashwood 17 shall remain sealed until further court order. Plaintiff names 20 defendants in this single case and seeks ex parte TRO relief against each of them 15. However, after reviewing the complaint 1, the Court questions whether plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2). See Estee Lauder Cosmetics, Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020); Art Ask Agency v. Individuals, Corps. Ltd. Liab. Cos., P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 21-cv-06197, 2021 WL 5493226 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2021); Bose Corp. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 334 F.R.D. 511 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 2/16/24, Plaintiff is ordered to file a supplemental memorandum that refers to specific facts alleged in its filings and provides citations to specific screenshots associated with each Amended Schedule A defendant to demonstrate that joinder is proper. Alternatively, by the same deadline, Plaintiff may file under seal a Second Amended Schedule A with a subset of the defendants and an amended declaration that explains how each of these defendants is properly joined with each other. Any amended declaration must attach labeled exhibits that contain screenshots or other information specific only to the defendants listed on second amended Schedule A. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 14 is granted. The motion for a TRO 15 will remain under advisement until the joinder issue is resolved. Emailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal 13, for leave to file excess pages 14, and for entry of a temporary restraining order 15 are taken under advisement. No appearance is necessary on 1/25/24. Emailed notice.
