MAILED Patent report to Patent Trademark Office, Alexandria VA (bi,)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: Initial status hearing is set for 1/29/26 at 9:30 a.m. in person in Courtroom 1719. By 1/22/26, the parties shall file a Joint Initial Status Report that complies with the Court's standing order, which can be found on the Court's website. If the defendant(s) have not been served by the initial status hearing date, counsel for Plaintiff must contact the Courtroom Deputy to reschedule the status hearing and the date for filing the Joint Initial Status Report.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: The Court grants plaintiff's motion for leave to file certain documents under seal [4]. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 31 defendants in a single action. By 12/9/25, plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of this Court's orders in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 28, 2024), and Anagram International v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12194, Dkt. 87 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 21, 2025). In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 12/9/25 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why that smaller subset of defendants is properly joined. No motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order should be filed in this matter without counsel first consulting this Court's order in Wham-O Holding v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12523, Dkt. 39 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 20, 2025).
