22 2023-03-27 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction is granted 19. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established 21 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Schedule A are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents. Mailed notice.
23 2023-03-27 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The Law Firm of Keith Vogt LTD., 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 https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_cmecf/pdfs/v60/Add_Terminate_Instructions.pdf.

34 2023-04-28 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendants' YI Strong Co., Ltd, Jzenzero Co., Ltd, Velitoy, Journey, Maguire, Dan Book, Buy More Technology, Ronlykiki, Huarong, DGYQDZSW, Loulan Roland Co., Shenzhenlvheshangmaoyouxiangongsi, Haptoys, Glory, changdeyunsheng Co.Ltd motion for extension of time to respond to the complaint 33 is granted. Response is due on or before May 18, 2023. Mailed notice.
35 2023-04-28 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion 29 for default judgment against certain remaining Defendants. Except for Defendants YI Strong Co., Ltd, Jzenzero Co., Ltd, Velitoy, Journey, Maguire, Dan Book, Buy More Technology, Ronlykiki, Huarong, DGYQDZSW, Loulan Roland Co., Shenzhenlvheshangmaoyouxiangongsi, Haptoys, Glory, changdeyunsheng Co.Ltd, who have each sought and received leave to answer the complaint, all remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as to all Defendants except for YI Strong Co., Ltd, Jzenzero Co., Ltd, Velitoy, Journey, Maguire, Dan Book, Buy More Technology, Ronlykiki, Huarong, DGYQDZSW, Loulan Roland Co., Shenzhenlvheshangmaoyouxiangongsi, Haptoys, Glory, changdeyunsheng Co.Ltd. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before May 5, 2023. If no objections are filed by that date, the court will consider the motion unopposed. That said, the Court will not proceed at this point to resolve the motion for default judgment. Defendants YI Strong Co., Ltd, Jzenzero Co., Ltd, Velitoy, Journey, Maguire, Dan Book, Buy More Technology, Ronlykiki, Huarong, DGYQDZSW, Loulan Roland Co., Shenzhenlvheshangmaoyouxiangongsi, Haptoys, Glory, changdeyunsheng Co.Ltd, of course, are not in default, and a court can enter final judgment as to "fewer than all" claims or parties only if there is "no just reason" to delay entry of a partial final judgment. See FRCP 54(b). It does not appear that Plaintiff has addressed these considerations in its motion for default judgment. Accordingly, the Court grants Plaintiff leave to file a statement on or before May 12, 2023 concerning whether, in Plaintiff's view, a partial final judgment in this case is appropriate under Rule 54(b). As the Supreme Court has instructed, the Court, in making a determination under Rule 54(b), must weigh both (1) the interests of sound judicial administration and (2) the "equities involved." Curtiss-Wright Corp. v. Gen. Elec. Co., 446 U.S. 1, 8 (1980). See also Gen. Ins. Co. of Am. v. Clark Mall Corp., 644 F.3d 375, 379 (7th Cir. 2011) (discussing Rule 54(b)). In preparing its statement, Plaintiff should bear in mind that "requests under Rule 54(b) are granted neither routinely nor as a matter of course," Architectural Floor Prods. Co. v. Don Brann & Assocs. Co., 551 F. Supp. 802, 807 (N.D. Ill. 1982), and that this Court has previously denied a similar request for partial final judgment in a so-called "Schedule A" case. See Oakley v. Sch. A, 20-cv-05049, Dkt. 66 (N.D. Ill. July 27, 2021). Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining Defendants within two business days of its entry on the docket and must file proof of service within three business of service being effected. Mailed notice.

40 2023-05-16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 29 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by Plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, Plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of Plaintiff's marks and copyrights irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by Defendants, the value of Plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the court concludes that $50,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Enter Final Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice.
