Date Filed Document Text
November 7, 2023 Filing 24 CERTIFICATE of Service of Minute Entry #23 by Alison K Carter on behalf of XYZ Corporation (Carter, Alison)
November 6, 2023 Filing 23 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Telephonic hearing on Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction #20 set for 11/21/23, at 9:45 AM. Attorneys/parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: 877-336-1828, Access Code: 4082461. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this 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 11/20/23, 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. Emailed notice. (cdh, )

October 10, 2023 Filing 16 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 10/10/23. Emailed notice(cdh, )
October 10, 2023 Filing 15 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff XYZ Corporation's Motion for leave to file Certain Documents under Seal and to Temporarily Proceed under a Pseudonym #5 , Ex Parte Motion for Entry of a Temporary Restraining Order, including a Temporary Injunction, a Temporary Asset Restraint, and Expedited Discovery #11 , and Motion for Electronic Service of Process #13 are 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 $10,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Emailed notice. (cdh, )
