January 27, 2022 Filing 14 Sealed Order on Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motions for Leave to File Under Seal, Expedited Discovery, and Electronic Service of Process Signed by the Honorable John Robert Blakey on 1/27/2022.Mailed notice(mjc, )
January 26, 2022 Filing 12 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court grants Plaintiff's motions to seal #5 , for limited expedited discovery #6 , and for electronic service of process #8 . The Court also finds that Plaintiff's allegations support the joinder of Defendants in this single action. Plaintiff has alleged and established, via declaration #7 , that the sellers identified on Schedule A share "unique identifiers, such as templates with common design elements which intentionally omit any contact information or other information for identifying Defendants or other Seller Aliases they operate or use." Plaintiff has also established that the ecommerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases "include other notable common features, such as use of the same registration patterns, accepted payment methods, checkout methods, keywords, illegitimate search engine optimization (SEO), advertising tactics, similarities in price and quantities, the same incorrect grammar and misspellings, and/or the use of the same text and images," and that the products sold by the Seller Aliases all are one of two different color variations and "bear similar irregularities and indicia of being unauthorized to one another, suggesting that the Infringing Products were manufactured by and come from a common source and that Defendants are interrelated." For present purposes, this satisfies the "series of transactions or occurrences" requirement of section 299(a)(1), as well as Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2), and Plaintiff may proceed against the identified Defendants in this single action. The 1/27/22 Notice of Motion date is stricken. Mailed notice (gel, )
