MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiff's motion to file under seal [3] is granted in part. The court will seal Schedule A and the defendant's product listing, but the court will not seal plaintiff's patent. The public has a right to know who is using the court system and what patents are in suit; sealing Schedule A and the product listing suffices to prevent a defendant from learning that the case has been initiated against them until service of process has been accomplished, so that defendant does not take steps to evade identification. The clerk shall unseal [2-2]. The motion to file the TRO materials under seal [5] is granted and the ex parte motion for a TRO [4] is granted in part. No appearance is necessary. The court declines to restrain any assets. Enter Sealed TRO. The court notes that this case appears to be a refiling of a complaint against a dismissed defendant from case 25-cv-04598, and plaintiff's counsel did not disclose the related case in the civil cover sheet. The court is considering recommending to the Executive Committee that plaintiff's counsel, Hao Ni and the entire firm of Ni, Wang & Massand, PLLC be barred from practicing in this court for the failure to truthfully complete the civil cover sheet. The $1,000 security must be deposited within one week. Plaintiff's counsel shall file a statement explaining the failure to identify the related case by 8/18/25. Notices Mailed. |

2025-08-15 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The court vacates the TRO and the clerk shall unseal all filings. Defendant has entered an appearance in the case and there is no longer any basis to proceed ex parte or under seal. The court further concludes that ex parte injunctive relief is unnecessary and the case should proceed under the ordinary process for adversarial litigation. No expedited discovery is authorized, and plaintiff is no longer required to post any security. Defendant shall respond to the complaint by 9/4/25 and the parties shall file a joint initial status report by 9/8/25. A template for the Initial Status Report, setting forth the information required, may be found at http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/Judges.php by clicking on Judge Shah's name and then again on the link entitled 'Initial Status Reports.'
