Feb. 12, 2026

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Plaintiff's ex parte motions [4] [13] [18] are granted, and no appearance is necessary. The plaintiff's written submissions establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping the infringement, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits, the harm to plaintiff is irreparable and an injunction is in the public interest because infringement interferes with the plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property. Those rights cannot be fully compensated by money damages. There is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective, perhaps the most effective, way to communicate with defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the court will take a fresh look at the asset freeze, joinder, and personal jurisdiction. The court finds that security in the amount of $53,000$1,000 per defendantis sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Motion hearing set for 2/12/26 is stricken. Notice mailed by Judge's staff

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Telephonic motion hearing set for 3/12/26 at 9:30 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing.

March 12, 2026

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Telephonic motion hearing held. Plaintiffs' Motion for entry of a preliminary injunction [34] is granted. Enter Preliminary injunction order. The Clerk's office is directed to unseal all previously sealed documents. Plaintiff is ordered to add all Defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within three business days. Instructions can be found on the court's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov. Plaintiff moves [41] to strike on the basis that Defendant Yuan Yuanjie's motion [39] cites non-existent cases, likely generated by an artificial intelligence platform. The Court had reviewed Defendant's motion which cites, for example "NSI Int'l, Inc. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, Case No. 1:24-cv-05560 (N.D. Ill. 2024)." Though the case number exists, the case number identifies a different case unrelated to Defendant's motion. Because Defendant has cited non-existent cases, Plaintiff's motion [41] to strike is granted and Defendant's motion [39] is stricken. Presentment of motion set for 3/17/26 is stricken. Telephonic status hearing set for 4/14/26 at 9:30 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing. The call-in number is 650-479-3207 and the access code is 1804010308. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings.
