[+] 28 2023-10-24 MEMORANDUM by Dispensing Technologies B.V. in support of motion for preliminary injunction[27]
29 2023-10-25 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion [27] for entry of a preliminary injunction as to Defendants 68 through 99. In connection with that motion, Plaintiff must serve the remaining Defendants with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no Defendant appears and objects by October 30, 2023." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering the TRO, the TRO is extended to until the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Mailed notice.

31 2023-10-26 NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Dispensing Technologies B.V. as to certain defendant
32 2023-11-01 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction [27] is granted as to Defendants 68-94, 96-99. 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 [30] 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. The Clerk shall unseal any documents that are sealed. The Law Firm of Greer, Burns & Crain, Ltd., is ordered to add ALL defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within five 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.

52 2023-12-08 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The following order does not apply to Defendants WEILICHUANG or LILI Kitchen Store. No other remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [39] 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. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the accounting of profits, the value of Plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the court concludes that the listed amounts are an appropriate award. Mailed notice.
