Charlie Bowater对附表A中列出的合伙企业和未注册协会提起的修正诉状

23 2023/10/05 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: The Court has reviewed plaintiff's memorandum in support of joinder of 65 defendants 19. Plaintiff argues that defendants are appropriately joined in this case because, among other reasons, they all infringe the same registered artwork, add the same moon phases, the same double stranded circle, and the same grass on the bottom. Thus, plaintiff maintains that its allegations indicate that defendants work in active concert to sell unauthorized products in the same series of transactions or occurrences. The Court disagrees that defendants here share a "logical relationship" where there is "substantial evidentiary overlap in the facts" to support joinder. Este Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 185 (N.D. Ill. 2020) (Chang, J.). Although defendants sell similar products, the storefronts and products identified in plaintiff's sealed exhibit to the temporary restraining order are distinguishable. The Court sees sufficient differences, such as the different characters featured on the products, different descriptions of the products, and the wide range of prices, which cut against plaintiff's assertion that all 65 joined defendants are working together or sharing information. The Court has noticed the overwhelming influx of Schedule A cases within the district. While it recognizes the efficiency that consolidation of defendants may permit, the Court finds that joining distinct defendants in one case does not satisfy the requirements of the Federal Rules, for in these sorts of copyright cases, "one defendant's alleged infringement does not 'arise out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences' as another defendant's unrelated infringement." Id. at 187 (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)). Thus, the Court finds that joinder is impermissible here. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint by November 5, 2023 reducing the number of defendants in accordance with the principles outlined above. The Court reserves ruling on the temporary restraining order 15 until the Rule 20 deficiency is cured. The Court grants plaintiff's motion to file under seal 13. Mailed notice.

在尊敬的Sharon Johnson Coleman法官面前进行的记录:法院已审阅原告关于65名被告加入的备忘录第19号。原告主张,被告们应在此案中被适当联合,因为,除其他原因外,他们都侵犯了同一注册艺术品,添加了相同的月相,相同的双股圆圈,以及底部的相同草。因此,原告坚持其指控表明被告们积极合作,销售未经授权的产品,属于同一系列交易或事件。法院不同意被告们在此共享“逻辑关系”,存在“事实上的重大证据重叠”以支持联合。Este Lauder Cosms. Ltd.诉列于附表A的合伙企业和未合并协会,334 F.R.D. 182, 185 (N.D. Ill. 2020) (Chang, J.)。尽管被告们销售类似产品,但原告在临时限制令的密封展品中确定的前台和产品有所区别。法院注意到足够的差异,如产品上展示的不同角色,产品的不同描述,以及广泛的价格范围,这些都与原告的主张相悖,即所有65名联合被告正在合作或共享信息。法院已注意到该地区内附表A案件的大量涌入。虽然它认识到合并被告可能带来的效率,但法院认为,在一个案件中联合不同的被告并不满足联邦规则的要求,因为在这些版权案件中,“一个被告的侵权行为并不‘源于与另一个被告无关的侵权行为相同的交易、事件或一系列交易或事件’。”Id. at 187 (引自Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A))。因此,法院认为在此联合是不允许的。原告可于2023年11月5日前提交修改后的诉状,根据上述原则减少被告人数。法院保留对临时限制令第15号的裁决,直到规则20的缺陷得到纠正。法院批准原告密封提交的动议第13号。邮寄通知。

22 2023/09/05 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: Upon review of the Complaint and the Amended Schedule A 12, the Court questions whether joinder of 65 defendants is appropriate in this case. See, e.g. Estee Lauder Cometics Ltd. v. Schedule A, Case No. 19-cv-7878, 2020 WL 433870 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 27, 2020) (Chang, J.). Plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 9/19/2023 in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. In addition, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum. Presentment hearing set for 9/6/2023 is stricken. Mailed notice.

在尊敬的Sharon Johnson Coleman法官面前进行的记录:在审查了诉状和修正的附表A 12后,法院质疑在本案件中合并65名被告是否适当。参见例如,Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd.诉Schedule A案,案件编号19-cv-7878,2020 WL 433870(伊利诺伊州北区,2020年1月27日)(Chang法官)。原告应于2023年9月19日前提交补充备忘录,根据Estee Lauder中描述的原则,讨论合并的适当性。此外,原告有权在提交备忘录的同时,提交一份包含较小被告子集的修正诉状。原定于2023年9月6日举行的听证会被取消。已发送通知。

21 2023/09/01 Presentment for Exparte motion 15 and NOTICE of Motion by Keith A. Vogt for presentment of motion for leave to file 13, motion for leave to file excess pages 14 before Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman on 9/6/2023 at 10:00 AM.
