December 5, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 464 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court has considered the parties' various submissions regarding entry of and the form of an injunction against defendant. The Court finds appropriate in substance and form the proposed injunction attached to the parties' second supplemental status report [dkt. no. 461] and will enter an injunction in that form.

December 5, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 463 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court has considered each party's request for an award of costs on the ground that it prevailed. The verdict in this case was decidedly mixed. Plaintiff obtained the damage award it sought at trial, though it was a relatively nominal amount, and it will obtain an injunction, but it lost on the majority of the claims that it presented to the jury. Defendant, for its part, will find itself barred from making and selling a good many of its products, and a party that faces a damage award and an injunction can by no means be considered to have prevailed in the overall scheme of things. In a case like this one in which the result is mixed, a court has the discretion to deny costs, and the Court is exercising that discretion here. See, e.g., Gavoni v. Dobbs House, Inc., 164 F.3d 1071, 1075 (7th Cir. 1999). Each side shall bear its own costs. (mk)

December 30, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 140 MINUTE entry before Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court has reviewed the materials submitted by plaintiff for in camera review. The materials consist of plaintiff's settlement agreement with defendant Paulson, correspondence reflecting negotiation of the settlement, and a small amount of earlier correspondence regarding procedural matters. It appears that all of the correspondence is between plaintiff's counsel and Paulson's counsel, not Paulson himself. The settlement and correspondence relating to it are subject to a confidentiality agreement contained within the settlement agreement. Based on the Court's review, none of the correspondence is admissible or likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, and thus the Court declines to direct plaintiff to produce those materials. Though the settlement agreement itself is likely inadmissible under Rule 408, the Court directs plaintiff's counsel to produce a copy of the agreement to defendant Chapterhouse's counsel of record. Defense counsel are prohibited from disclosing the agreement or information about its contents to anyone other than defendant's outside counsel of record in this case, Paulson himself, and Paulson's counsel of record, unless the Court orders otherwise based on a showing of good cause made by defense counsel. Any filings containing information about the agreement must be made under seal and are likewise subject to the prohibition contained in the previous sentence. (mk)

The Court is available all day on 11/7/11. In addition, the Court is aware from the proceedings this morning that (1) Defendant Chapterhouse's principal has to change a previously scheduled vacation to be here on 11/4/11, (2) Plaintiff's counsel cannot travel until the morning of 11/4/11 and, if his flight is delayed, that could derail the planned conference, and (3) one of Plaintiff's preferred client representatives from overseas cannot be here on 11/4/11. Therefore, counsel shall confer immediately with each other and their clients and call the Court's judicial assistant, Patricia Hagenmaier, by the close of business on 10/19/11 with respect to whether they can be here on 11/7/11 instead of 11/4/11. The Court is available beginning at 9:00 a.m. on 11/7/11. Mailed notice (ep, )
October 18, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 103 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert: Status hearing held.

September 1, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 97 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey T. Gilbert: Status hearing held. The Court encourages the parties to meet and confer regarding the discovery disputes discussed during the status hearing. If the parties wish to submit to this Court, materials that crystallize their discovery disputes, the Court is willing to meet with the parties as discussed in an effort to resolve those disputes and facilitate the exchange of information that may be helpful in moving this matter towards resolution. Counsel shall contact the Court's judicial assistant if they want to schedule such a meeting. Out-of-town counsel with primary responsibility should plan to attend this meeting in person. If, however, one party or the other believes it needs to present any discovery issues in the form of a motion to compel or for a protective order, nothing in this order should be interpreted as precluding that approach. The parties and their counsel also are encouraged to consider seriously the settlement-related questions set forth in the Court's 8/23/11 order and to contact the Court's judicial assistant if they wish to schedule a settlement conference in accordance with the Court's Standing Order for Settlement Conference available on the website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov. This matter is set for a further status hearing on 9/13/11 at 9:45 a.m. Out-of-town counsel with primary responsibility for this matter may appear by telephone if they cannot attend in person. Further, if developments between now and 9/13/11 require the rescheduling of this status hearing, counsel shall jointly contact the Court's courtroom deputy. Mailed notice (ep, )
