November 12, 2024 Filing 33 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal #7 and motion for leave to file excess pages #10 and denies Plaintiff's motion for entry of a temporary restraining order #11 without prejudice. Plaintiff filed this case against 292 defendants for infringing 2 different registered trademarks owned by Plaintiff. 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 complaint and accompanying documents filed 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 11/26/2024, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Courts order in Roadget. The Court sets a telephonic status date for 12/10/2024 at 9:45 AM. Plaintiff may refile its motion for entry of a temporary restraining order and notice it for presentment at the next status date. 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. Please note that the conference call-in will be used by all cases that are on the court's calendar for the said date, therefore counsel must be in a quiet area while on the line and must have the telephone muted until your case is called.
