MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: The Court requires that any motion for a temporary restraining order and/or asset freeze is accompanied by a declaration from an attorney of record that provides the following information. First, to demonstrate the immediate harm necessary to grant the drastic remedy of an ex parte temporary restraining order, the declaration must confirm that each named defendant has sold or offered to sell the allegedly infringing product(s) within the last two months and describe the evidence supporting this confirmation. Generally, evidence that a defendant has sold or offered to sell the infringing products within the last two months may include: (1) screenshots of the listings collected within the last two months; (2) screenshots older than two months with an attestation that the listings reflected in the screenshots have been checked within the last two months and were active; or (3) evidence of a purchase by a customer in Illinois within the last two months. Second, as relevant to personal jurisdiction, without which any temporary restraining order or asset freeze would be invalid, the declaration must confirm that each named defendant sold at least one allegedly infringing product to a customer in Illinois and describe the evidence supporting this confirmation. Here, "sold" means that the defendant accepted an order and payment for an allegedly infringing product to be shipped to Illinois. Third, to assure that Court that the rights of defendants who have not yet been served are being appropriately protected, the declaration must identify the case number(s) and assigned judge(s) for any pending case(s) brought by the plaintiff(s) against any of the named defendants, noting whether the intellectual property at issue was the same or different than in this case. If it is the same, the declaration should describe the disposition of the other case. The Court will address any motion for a temporary restraining order only after receipt of the described declaration, which can be filed contemporaneously with the motion. Mailed notice. |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: Plaintiff has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order. Plaintiff's complaint seeks relief for unauthorized use of certain "Copyrighted Protected Images." Plaintiff's motion for a TRO, however, also makes allegations regarding unauthorized use of "Copyrighted Designs." And the motion seeks an injunction of "Defendants' reproduction, public display, and distribution of Plaintiff's Copyrighted Designs." R. 15-1 at 20. These "Copyrighted Designs" are not mentioned in the complaint. It is not clear to the Court what relevance the "Copyrighted Designs" have to claims of unauthorized use of the "Copyrighted Protected Images" alleged in the complaint. The motion for a TRO [15] is denied for that reason. Plaintiff's motion for service by publication and electronic service [13] is also denied considering it is not currently clear what claims Plaintiff intends to allege. Mailed notice. |
