MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's ex parte motion to seal, motion for a temporary restraining order, asset restraint, and expedited discovery, and motion for electronic service of process [3] [11] [16] 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. A $50,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Notices mailed. |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Defendant Zenginn filed a response to the motion for a preliminary in junction through its operator, an individual unrepresented by counsel. Entities may not appear in federal court without counsel. The response is not a proper response. No other defendants have appeared or objected to the motion for a preliminary injunction. Although the court has doubts about personal jurisdiction over defendants who did not actually ship product to Illinois, the absence of a proper objection and plaintiff's submissions to date establish that a preliminary injunction should issue. The reasons justifying the TRO continue to support a preliminary injunction. The motion [26] is granted. The court advises plaintiff to promptly evaluate the defendants and consider the statements attempted to be filed by Zenginn. Enter preliminary injunction. 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. |
