| 12 | 2026-06-01 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Based on Plaintiff's filing at docket entry [11] the court's personal jurisdictional concerns are satisfied. The motion for expedited discovery [10] is granted. Plaintiff is authorized to serve third-party discovery on an expedited basis, with responses due not less than 10 days after service. The requests shall be proportional to the immediate needs of the case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). For example, a request for "documents sufficient to show X" is better than a request for "all documents showing X." Plaintiff shall consider what documents it genuinely needs at this early stage and shall consider the burden on third parties. Plaintiff shall work cooperatively with third parties impacted by this Order and make reasonable, good faith efforts to ease the burdens imposed by Plaintiff's request for expedited discovery. The motion for electronic service [8] is denied without prejudice in light of Kangol v Hangzhou, 2026 WL 1502198 (7th Cir. May 29, 2026). By June 15, 2026, Plaintiff must take some action to address the matter of service of process on Defendant Cinyujia in light of the holding in Kangol. Mailed notice. |

| 8 | 2026-05-29 | MOTION: MOTION by Plaintiff Shenzhen Hongxinmao Trading Co., Ltd. for Electronic Service of Process Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) |
| 7 | 2026-05-26 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Upon review of the trademark infringement complaint, the court questions whether Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged that the court can exercise personal jurisdiction over Defendant "Cinyujia and the Individual or Entity operating Cinyujia." To adequately plead personal jurisdiction, Plaintiff must sufficiently allege that the defendant actually sold the allegedly infringing product to a customer in Illinois. See Liu v. Monthly, 170 F.4th 1090 (7th Cir. 2026) (citing Curry v. Revolution Lab'ys, LLC, 949 F.3d 385, 400 (7th Cir. 2020). The complaint here alleges Defendant "directed business activities toward and conducted business with consumers throughout the United States, including within the State of Illinois and this District through, at least, its Amazon storefront" [Dkt. 1, para. 4, 15.] Those allegations are conclusory, and Plaintiff did not provide proof of actual sales in this district. See id. (remanding with instructions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction because plaintiff had not provided screenshot evidence of actual sales in Illinois). By June 2, 2026, Plaintiff must file either a memorandum explaining why personal jurisdiction is proper, or an amended complaint setting forth with more than conclusory statements the alleged infringing activity and grounds for personal jurisdiction. Failure to do so will result in the current complaint being dismissed without prejudice and this case being closed. Mailed notice. |
