| 18 | 2026-06-18 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 8. The Court, like many other courts in this District, is unconvinced that "these commonplace efforts in Schedule A cases to obtain secret relief comport with principles of procedural due process." See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2025 WL 2299593 at *7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025) (Kness, J.); see also Shenzhen Jisu Technology Co. LTD. v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified in Schedule A, 25-cv-09559 Dkt. No. 10 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 19, 2025) (Hunt, J.). As an initial matter, these infringement cases rarely present exceptional circumstances that would justify sealing the names of all defendants and documents pertaining to their alleged infringing activity, let alone an entire case, even temporarily. "Secrecy makes little sense if the goal of the litigation is to protect rightholders' IP interests by obtaining an injunction against defendants' sales of infringing or counterfeit goods." Eicher Motors, 2025 WL 2299593 at *7. And, importantly, the reasoning underlying Plaintiff's motion to seal runs counter to the well-established authority of this Circuit holding that "[m]any a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case. be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing." See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000). It is insufficient that alleged counterfeiters might quickly shut down the online store and move money if alerted to the fact that they are being sued. See Shenzhen Jisu Technology Co., 25-cv-09559 Dkt. No. 10. "Due process still affords them the right to receive notice and a chance to present a defense before restraining all of their assets based solely on one-sided documentary evidence from Plaintiff." Id. Therefore, without a detailed explanation to establish good cause for sealing in accordance with Local Rule 26.2 and Seventh Circuit precedent, which has not been provided here, sealing is not appropriate. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion to seal 8 is denied. Plaintiff is directed to file amended Schedule A 12 and Exhibit 2 to the declaration of Jay Paragoso 14 as public documents on the docket on or before 6/24/2026. Because Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint and amended Schedule A, the original Schedule A 9 may remain under seal. Mailed notice |
| 19 | 2026-06-22 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court grants in part and denies in part Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery 15. That is, the Court grants Plaintiff's request for electronic discovery related to the identities and locations of Defendant, but denies the request as to the nature of Defendant's operations and all associated sales, methods of payment for services and financial information, which information the Court finds is more appropriately addressed in the regular course of discovery. Enter Order. Mailed notice |
| 20 | 2026-06-22 | ORDER Signed by the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama on 6/22/2026. Mailed notice |
| 21 | 2026-06-26 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: On or before 8/10/2026, the parties shall file a joint initial status report. A template for the Joint Initial Status Report, setting forth the information required, may be found at http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/Judges.aspx by clicking on Judge Valderrama's name and then again on the link entitled 'Joint Initial Status Report. Plaintiff must serve this Minute Entry on all other parties. If the defendant(s) has not been served with process by that date, plaintiff's counsel is instructed to file an individual status report indicating the status of service of process by the same deadline. The parties are further ordered to review all of Judge Valderrama's standing orders and the information available on his webpage. Any nongovernmental corporate party that qualifies under the Rules is reminded of the requirement to file a disclosure statement under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1/N.D. Ill. Local Rule 3.2.

| 25 | 2026-08-28 | MOTION by Plaintiff Robert Bosch LLC Plaintiff's Motion for Electronic Service of Process Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) |
| 26 | 2026-09-01 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motion, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion to exceed page limitation [24] and the Court will consider Plaintiff's 17-page memorandum in support of electronic service of process. The Court enters and continues Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) [25]. The motion references a declaration of Plaintiff's investigator, Anna Katharina Reiter; however, that declaration is not attached to the motion. The Court directs Plaintiff to file that declaration on the docket on or before 9/2/2026. Mailed notice. |
| 28 | 2026-09-02 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motion, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) [25]. Plaintiff has now filed a declaration [27] discussing its efforts to ascertain a physical address for service through various searches (including Baidu Maps, which is a popular mapping services in China) of the address on Defendant's store page. Plaintiff was ultimately unable to ascertain an address for service. Accordingly, the Court finds Plaintiff expended reasonably diligent efforts to ascertain an address for service. See, e.g., Hallmark Licensing, LLC v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A", 24-cv-00112 Dkt. 70 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 31, 2025). Because the address for service is not known, the Hague Convention does not apply. See Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Imp. & Exp. Co., 177 F.4th 793, 799 (7th Cir. 2026) ("the Convention does not permit service by email in China"). Mailed notice. |
