ORDER re: [1] Complaint, filed by Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation. On April 2, 2026, Plaintiff filed this trademark infringement action. Dkt. No. 1. The case was assigned to the undersigned later that evening. Plaintiff has requested that the Court grant it a temporary restraining order. The Court requests additional information before acting on the request. First, the Court requests supplemental briefing regarding the likelihood of success on the merits. The case involves many different products that allegedly infringe upon a large number of separately registered marks. It is not a case involving a single product. Plaintiff's briefing is extremely generic; it is not tailored to the products or trademarks at issue. Plaintiff's brief argues only the following: "Plaintiff has submitted extensive documentation showing that Defendants are selling Infringing Products that look similar to genuine Plaintiff's products and use infringing and counterfeit marks identical to the Marks." Dkt. No. 10 at 7. The extensive documentation referenced is a 200-page long document showing products and the mark that is allegedly infringed. Plaintiff asks the Court to review a series of exhibits to determine on its own that the products are infringing, without explanation from Plaintiff. The Court requires more in the context of this case. As further set forth in this Order, The Court defers ruling on the requested injunctive relief to provide Plaintiff with the opportunity to supply the supplemental briefing and factual information requested here. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 4/3/2026)

ORDER: On April 2, 2026, Plaintiff filed this trademark infringement action and requested that the Court grant it a temporary restraining order (TRO). Dkt. Nos. 1, 8. On April 3, 2026, the Court issued an order identifying deficiencies in Plaintiffs TRO application and indicating that the Court would defer ruling on the application until Plaintiff provided additional information. Dkt. No. 17. Plaintiff has not submitted a renewed application or filed anything further in this action. The Court understands that Plaintiff may be attempting to develop an appropriate record on which to pursue this action. If Plaintiff is not prepared to litigate this action at this time, it may file a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i) and commence a new action when it is prepared to proceed. Plaintiff is directed to submit a status letter to the Court regarding this case no later than May 19, 2026 if no stipulation of dismissal has been filed by that date. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 5/15/2026)
