Exhibit 1

Exhibit 2

EXHIBIT by Plaintiff Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A, Inc. Amended Schedule A regarding amended complaint, [12]

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff initially filed a complaint seeking to sue 85 separate defendants in this single trademark infringement suit, see [1], [2]. Once the case was reassigned to this Court, however, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which names just one defendant, and thus avoids any joinder issues. See [12], [13]. But before Plaintiff may proceed, it must file a supplemental report confirming whether it has previously named any of the 85 defendants identified in this case in a prior case asserting infringement of the same trade dress, and, if so, listing any such cases. See Julie Stiebritz v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:25-cv-03459, at 19 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 9, 2025) (dismissing the case because plaintiff previously named defendants in a prior case and dismissed them to avoid an unfavorable joinder ruling, which constitutes forum shopping). Plaintiff shall file its report by 11/10/25. Mailed notice.
