MOTION by Plaintiff Capcom Co., Ltd. for Authorization to Provide Electronic Notice of Any Forthcoming Motion for Entry of a Preliminary Injunction

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [3] is granted. Plaintiff has sued 68 defendants for violations of the Lanham Act and the Copyright Act. It has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and expedited discovery and, separately, a motion seeking for leave to permit notice of a preliminary injunction hearing electronically. Plaintiff's motions and proposed order say nothing about service of summons. But it is unlikely that plaintiff is intending to serve the defendants with summons in the traditional way (i.e. personally) and that it intends to proposed to serve them electronically. But in the post-Kangol world it would appear that the propriety of electronic/e-mail service under the Hague Convention will have to be litigated on a defendant-by-defendant basis. This, in turn, impacts the Court's view regarding the practical limits of proper joinder. Plaintiff is ordered to show cause in writing by 6/22/2026 why the complaint in its current form should not be dismissed for improper joinder, without prejudice to amendment dropping all but, say, 10 or fewer defendants. An in-person hearing on the show cause order and plaintiff's pending motions is set for 6/26/2026 at 9:15 AM in Courtroom 2103. No telephonic or other remote appearances will be allowed.

RESPONSE by Plaintiff Capcom Co., Ltd. to order on motion for miscellaneous relief, terminate motions, set motion and R&R deadlines/hearings, [18]

Exhibit 1

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: In person motion hearing held on 6/26/2026. The motion for temporary restraining order [13] and electronic service [17] are taken under advisement. The case is set for a telephonic status hearing on 7/13/2026 at 9:10 AM. The following call-in number will be used for the hearing: 650-479-3207; access code 2305-915-8729. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court has determined that for cases filed post-Kangol it will not permit joinder of more than 15 defendants in so-called "Schedule A" cases due to the increased time and burden involved in determining the propriety of electronic service. Plaintiff may file an amended schedule A with no more than 15 defendants. Plaintiff's motion for entry of a temporary restraining order (etc.) [13] and motion for electronic service [17] are denied without prejudice to refiling.

SEALED EXHIBIT by Plaintiff Capcom Co., Ltd. Exhibit 3, Parts 1-2 regarding declaration[15]

MOTION by Plaintiff Capcom Co., Ltd. for Authorization to Provide Electronic Notice of Any Forthcoming Motion for Entry of a Preliminary Injunction

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff has filed an amended Schedule A reducing the number of defendants to 15. The telephonic status hearing set for 7/13/2026 is vacated. Plaintiff's motion for entry of an ex parte temporary restraining order [23] is granted. Enter Sealed Ex Parte Temporary Restraining Order. Telephonic preliminary injunction hearing is set for 7/21/2026 at 8:50 AM. The following call-in number will be used for the hearing: 650-479-3207; access code 2305-915-8729. Plaintiff's motion for authorization to provide notice of its motion for preliminary injunction electronically [25] is granted. However the Court advises that due to the fact that the defendants are likely located overseas the Court would disfavor ruling on a motion for preliminary injunction 14 days from now and instead would favor plaintiff seeking a single 14-day extension of the TRO before seeking a preliminary injunction. Mailed notice.

SEALED ORDER: Signed by the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly on 7/7/2026.
