SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado on 6/20/2024.
封存的临时限制令。由尊敬的Nancy L. Maldonado法官于2024年6月20日签署。 |
| 30 | 2024/06/20 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's motion for leave to seal Schedule A to the second amended complaint, the exhibits attached to the second amended complaint 26, and plaintiff's third motion for temporary restraining order 27. The motion 29 is granted for the reasons stated in the motion. The motion for temporary restraining order 27 is granted for the reasons stated in the motion. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, were Defendant to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, it is likely assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating Plaintiff's interests in identifying the individuals and entities operating Defendant, stopping Defendant's infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by Plaintiffs shows a substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement), the harm to Plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to Defendant. See, e.g., Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A," No. 20-CV-05049, 2021 WL 2894166, at *5 (N.D. Ill. July 9, 2021) (finding electronic service proper in similar circumstances). Expedited discovery is warranted to identify Defendant and to implement the asset freeze. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Court a $1,000 bond as security.
尊敬的Nancy L. Maldonado法官主持的庭审记录：法院已收到原告关于封存第二次修订诉状附表A及其附件[26]以及原告第三次申请临时限制令[27]的动议[29]。基于动议中陈述的理由，该动议[29]获准。基于动议中陈述的理由，临时限制令申请[27]获准。原告的文件支持以单方面方式（暂时）进行诉讼。具体而言，如果在发布TRO之前告知被告此诉讼，被告可能会转移资产和网站，从而损害原告识别操作被告的个人和实体、制止被告侵权行为及获取账目的利益。此外，原告提交的证据显示在实质问题上取得成功的可能性很大（包括积极侵权的证据），对原告的损害是不可弥补的，且禁令符合公共利益。电子送达程序不违反任何条约，且符合正当程序，因为它有效地向被告传达了诉讼的待决状态。参见，例如，Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A," No. 20-CV-05049, 2021 WL 2894166, at *5 (N.D. Ill. July 9, 2021)（在类似情况下认定电子送达适当）。为识别被告并实施资产冻结，应进行加速发现。发布封存的临时限制令。原告应向法院存入1,000美元作为保证金。 |

Second AMENDED complaint by Sharp Shirter, Inc. against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified in Schedule A
Sharp Shirter, Inc.对附表A中确定的合伙企业和未注册协会提起的第二次修正诉状 |
| 24 | 2024/05/16 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's supplemental memorandum on joinder and considered the arguments and authority cited therein 22. This Court follows the reasoning outlined in decisions such as Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020) and Art Ask Agency v. Individuals, Corps., Ltd. Liab. Cos., P'ships, and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 21-CV-06197, 2021 WL 5493226 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2021), in which courts rejected the joinder of numerous defendants in similar counterfeit products cases. Based on the reasoning and standards employed in those cases, Plaintiff has not shown that the joinder of these 51 defendants, who are selling different counterfeit products (e.g. puzzles, clothing, and household items) on different pages on the same generic platform (Amazon), is proper. In short, well-established case law in this District, supported by authority from the Federal Circuit, holds that the mere fact that multiple defendants are alleged to have infringed the same copyright, trademark, or patent, does not support joinder of those defendants in the same action. See Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 187 (collecting cases). Further, for the same reasons outlined in cases such as Estee Lauder and Art Ask Agency, the Court is not persuaded here that the generic allegations that all 51 defendants employ common tactics of evasion, similar advertising and marketing strategies, that they often employ common design elements or templates, or that they operate on the same generic third-party platform are sufficient to support joinder of all 51 defendants in a single action. While the Court acknowledges the liberal notice pleading standards, the Court finds that Plaintiff has not shown that each and every one of the 51 listed defendants is properly joined in this case under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2). The Court also cannot conclude that joinder of all 51 defendants would promote judicial economy, but rather shifts burdens to the judiciary and away from plaintiff. See Art Ask Agency, 2021 WL 5493226, at *3. Therefore, by 6/13/24, Plaintiff must file an amended complaint and Schedule A of defendants who are properly joined based on the standards outlined in Estee Lauder and Art Ask Agency. If Plaintiff seeks to name more than one defendant, the amended complaint must be accompanied by another memorandum explaining the propriety of joinder of the multiple defendants under the reasoning of Estee Lauder and Art Ask Agency. For these reasons, Plaintiff's motions for entry of a temporary restraining order are denied 9 23.
尊敬的Nancy L. Maldonado法官的记录：法院已审阅原告关于合并的补充备忘录及其中的论点和引用的权威[22]。本法院遵循Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020)和Art Ask Agency v. Individuals, Corps., Ltd. Liab. Cos., P'ships, and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 21-CV-06197, 2021 WL 5493226 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2021)等案件中的推理，这些案件中法院拒绝了在类似的假冒产品案件中合并众多被告。基于这些案件的推理和标准，原告未能证明将这51名销售不同假冒产品（如拼图、服装和家居用品）在同一通用平台（亚马逊）的不同页面的被告合并是适当的。简而言之，本地区确立的判例法，得到联邦巡回法院的支持，认为仅因多个被告被指控侵犯同一版权、商标或专利，并不支持在同一诉讼中合并这些被告。参见Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 187（收集案例）。此外，基于Estee Lauder和Art Ask Agency等案件中列出的相同理由，法院在此不认为所有51名被告采用共同的逃避策略、相似的广告和营销策略、他们经常使用共同的设计元素或模板，或他们在同一第三方通用平台上运营，足以支持在单一诉讼中合并所有51名被告。尽管法院承认宽松的通知起诉标准，法院发现原告未能证明根据联邦民事诉讼规则20(a)(2)，这51名被告中的每一位都应在此案中被合并。法院也不能断定合并所有51名被告会促进司法经济，反而将负担转移给司法部门并远离原告。参见Art Ask Agency, 2021 WL 5493226, at *3。因此，原告必须在2024年6月13日前提交修订的起诉状和根据Estee Lauder和Art Ask Agency标准确定的应合并被告的附表A。如果原告寻求列出超过一名被告，修订的起诉状必须附有另一份备忘录，解释根据Estee Lauder和Art Ask Agency的推理合并多名被告的适当性。基于这些理由，原告的临时限制令申请被拒绝[9][23]。 |

By the same deadline, Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with a subset of the defendants along with a memo explaining why joinder of those particular defendants is proper. The Court reserves ruling on the motion for temporary restraining order until the issue of joinder is resolved.
