CLAIM by Liforme Ltd. regarding Patents.

CASE ASSIGNED to the Honorable Martha M. Pacold. Designated as Magistrate Judge the Honorable Sheila M. Finnegan. Case assignment: Random assignment. (jk2,) (Text entry; no document attached.)

CLERK'S NOTICE: Pursuant to Local Rule 73.1(b), a United States Magistrate Judge of this court is available to conduct all proceedings in this civil action. If all parties consent to have the currently assigned United States Magistrate Judge conduct all proceedings in this case, including trial, the entry of final judgment, and all post-trial proceedings, all parties must sign their names on the attached Consent To form. This consent form is eligible for filing only if executed by all parties. The parties can also express their consent to jurisdiction by a magistrate judge in any joint filing, including the Joint Initial Status Report or proposed Case Management Order. (jk2,) (Text entry; no document attached.)

MAILED copyright report to Registrar, Washington DC

Oct. 14, 2022

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the temporary restraining order, plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal 7, for electronic service of process and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery 8 are granted. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, were defendants 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 defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), 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 defendants. As other judges in this district have noted, there may be reason to question both the propriety of the joinder of all defendants in this one action and whether plaintiff genuinely intends to pursue an accounting (which plaintiff asserts as justification for an asset freeze), but at this preliminary stage, the court is persuaded that plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence of coordinated activity and the prospect of an accounting to justify the requested relief as to all defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. If any defendant appears and objects, the court will revisit the asset freeze and joinder. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 9 is also granted.

NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Liforme Ltd. of Defendant No. 146 (Jupiter Gear, Inc.)

18

Oct. 24, 2022

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal 17, which seeks to voluntarily dismiss defendant No. 146 Jupiter Gear, Inc. under Rule 41(a)(1). Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action.'). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by dropping defendant No. 146 Jupiter Gear, Inc. from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended Schedule A form by 10/28/2022 identifying the remaining defendants. Jupiter Gear, Inc. terminated.

20

Oct. 28, 2022

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to extend the TRO 19 is granted. Under Rule 65(b)(2), the court finds good cause to extend the TRO for 7 days to prevent defendants from transferring assets from their U.S. based financial accounts, modifying the names of their internet stores, or removing their internet stores from their current platforms. The court's TRO 14 entered on 10/14/2022 is extended until 11/4/2022 with respect to all Defendants identified in Schedule A to the Complaint except for Defendant 51, FootWorld, Defendant 68, Plyopic USA, Defendant 114, footworlduk, and Defendant 146, Jupiter Gear, Inc.

ATTORNEY Appearance for Defendant Ewedoos by Timothy Tiewei Wang

31

Nov. 14, 2022

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has taken the motion for preliminary injunction 28 under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by 11/28/2022. Plaintiff shall serve defendants with this notice. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering and extending the TRO, as well as in Plaintiff's earlier motions 19, 24 to extend the TRO, the TRO is further extended to and including the date on which 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 FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844.

ORDER: In the court's 5/18/2023 minute entry, it gave all defendants until 6/1/2023 to object to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 82. See 83. No defendant has objected. The court therefore grants plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 82. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order and the motion for entry of default and default judgment, and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that the infringement was willful, that damages should be awarded in the amount specified in the order, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of its copyright and patents causes it irreparable harm in the form of diminished goodwill and brand confidence, damage to plaintiff's reputation, loss of exclusivity, and loss of future sales; that monetary damages are inadequate to address these harms; and that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction. No defendants have appeared to argue otherwise; thus, the court also finds that the balance of the hardships favors a permanent injunction. The ten thousand dollars ($10,000) surety bond posted by plaintiff is hereby released to plaintiff's counsel. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to plaintiff's counsel David Edward Hutchinson, 1136 S. Delano Court West, Ste B201, 2068, Chicago, IL 60605 via certified mail. Enter Default Final Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 6/7/2023.
