Feb. 5, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion 22 for entry of a preliminary injunction. In connection with that motion, Plaintiff must serve all remaining Defendants with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no Defendant appears and objects by February 10, 2025." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering the TRO, the TRO is extended until 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. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant No. 55 KACC BABY STORES did not file any brief in opposition to the preliminary injunction by either deadline set by the Court [see 30, 31], so the Court assumes it no longer opposes the preliminary injunction. In light of the notice of dismissal as to Defendant 84, Three Cat, Plaintiff should email an updated preliminary injunction order to the Court's PO Box by February 25, 2025. The preliminary injunction hearing set for February 27, 2025 at 9:15 a.m. is stricken. Mailed notice.

34

Feb. 24, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 22 is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established 26 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. The Clerk shall unseal any documents that are sealed. The Law Firm of Keith Vogt, Ltd., is ordered to add ALL defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within five business days, instructions can be found on the Court's website at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_cmecf/pdfs/v60/Add_Terminate_Instructions.pdf.

Exhibit Ex. 1 - Walmart Marketplace Guideline

70

April 23, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Canhui Co.'s motion to modify the asset restraint [60] is denied. The Court has authority to freeze assets "to preserve an equitable accounting of profits, a remedy provided to counterfeiting victims by 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a)." Klipsch Grp., Inc. v. Big Box Store, Ltd., 2012 WL 5265727, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 24, 2012.) That said, "the appropriate scope of prejudgment restraint must be limited only to what is reasonably necessary to secure the (future) equitable relief." Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 2013 WL 12314399, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 31, 2013). "To exempt assets from an asset freeze, the burden is on the party seeking relief to present documentary proof that particular assets are not the proceeds of counterfeiting activities." Monster Energy Co. v. Wensheng, 136 F. Supp. 3d 897, 910 (N.D. Ill. 2015). In a prior order, the Court restrained Canhui Co.'s assets in the amount of $10,127.56. Canhui Co. proposes a partial modification to allow Walmart.com to release all but $1,000 of this amount because it terminated its Walmart.com storefront account in October 2024 before the lawsuit was filed and there is no ongoing infringement such that the amount restrained is disproportionate to any harm. The Court agrees with Melis, however, that Canhui Co. has not submitted sufficient documentary evidence to support its claim that it has not sold any accused products. The screenshots provided are not detailed and do not include an accounting of the restrained funds. Indeed, the screenshots provided suggests product sales approaching $19,000 for the period spanning October 2024 through April 2025. [Dkt. 60-1 at 8.] Defendant says that this amount reflects sales prior to October 2024 as well as refunds and chargebacks, but in the end, without documentary evidence accounting for the restrained funds, the Court declines to disturb the prior ruling. Roadget Bus. Pte. Ltd. v. Schedule A Hereto, No. 24 C 607, Doc. 77 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 16, 2024) (granting motion to modify asset restraint when defendants provided data obtained from online sales platform with accompanying affidavit from employee at online sales platform explaining how the platform collected the data). Antsy Labs, LLC v. Schedule A Hereto, No. 21 C 3289, 2022 WL 17176498, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2022). This denial, however, is without prejudice to renewal. Should Canhui Co. compile admissible, verifiable documentary evidence that shows the amount of assets restrained is disproportionate to the amount generated through allegedly infringing sales, the Court will consider modifying the asset restraint at that time. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C.

The filing did not propose an agreed briefing schedule as required by the Court's standing order. Counsel for Plaintiff and the impacted Defendants are to confer and file a joint statement on the docket by April 30, 2025 that sets forth Defendants' position on whether discovery is necessary for its response to the motion, and if not, the parties proposed dates for a response and reply brief.
