19 2024-08-28 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's ex parte motions are granted. 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 $25,000 is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Notices Mailed.

22 2024-09-06 MOTION by Plaintiff Megan Steiger for preliminary injunction
26 2024-09-11 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Motion hearing held. For the reasons stated in open court, plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction 22 is granted in part. The court declines to impose a total asset restraint on defendants. The court will restrain and enjoin defendants' financial accounts with third-party platforms and providers, but upon a showing that restrained assets are not attributable to sales of infringing products, the asset restraint will be modified. Enter Preliminary Injunction Order. The Clerk is directed to unseal any previously sealed documents in this matter. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to add all defendants listed on Schedule A to the court's docket within three business days. Instructions on how to do so may be located on the court's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/instructions. Notices Mailed.
