MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: Plaintiff filed this case against 97 defendants for infringing six trademarks and two copyrights registered to Plaintiff. Under Rule 20, a plaintiff may join multiple defendants in a single action if: (1) the claims against them are asserted with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences, and (2) a question of law or fact common to all defendants exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)(B). In reviewing the complaint in this case, it does not appear that joinder is proper as to all Defendants. As the Court stated in Roadget Business Pte. Ltd. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Cos., Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright, trademark, or patent in the same way, without more, does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find joinder proper. No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *67 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024). The Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by 3/12/2025, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Court's order in Roadget. The Court sets a status hearing for 3/19/2025 at 9:30 AM. The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery and electronic service of process 15. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: (650) 479-3207, Access Code: 2314 361 1508. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking. Please note that the conference call-in will be used by all cases that are on the court's calendar for the said date, therefore counsel must be in a quiet area while on the line and must have the telephone muted until your case is called. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing (use toll-free number). Please be sure to keep your phone on mute when you are not speaking.
