| 30 | 2026-06-12 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal, 29. This dismissal took effect without court intervention. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i); Waetzig v. Haliburton Energy Servs., 145 S. Ct. 690, 694 (2025). Plaintiff's outstanding motion 24 for default judgment is accordingly denied as moot. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice. |
| 29 | 2026-06-10 | DISMISSAL: NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Robert Bosch LLC Plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal as to Defendant No. 9 |
| 28 | 2026-06-09 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: By 7/15/2026, plaintiff shall provide a supplemental brief and/or supplemental evidence on whether the court has personal jurisdiction over defendant. In its memorandum of law supporting default judgment, plaintiff contends that the court has personal jurisdiction because defendant operates a "fully interactive commercial Internet website and online marketplace" that "offers shipping to the United States, including Illinois and has sold Counterfeit/Infringing Products to residents within the United States, including Illinois." 25 at 3-4. Generally speaking, merely operating an interactive website accessible in a state is insufficient to establish personal jurisdiction. See be2 LLC v. Ivanov, 642 F.3d 555, 55859 (7th Cir. 2011). Notwithstanding that, the Seventh Circuit has found the existence of specific personal jurisdiction in trademark, copyright, and patent infringement suits against online retailers when the defendant has shipped the allegedly infringing products to the forum state. See, e.g., NBA Props., Inc. v. HANWJH, 46 F.4th 614, 62223 (7th Cir. 2022). While plaintiff has alleged that infringing products were shipped to Illinois, it has not provided any evidence of such a completed sale. The court, then, is not yet assured that it has personal jurisdiction, and it invites plaintiff to offer additional support. Mailed notice. |
| 27 | 2026-05-20 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: By 6/6/2026, defendant shall show cause as to why default should not be entered and as to why default judgment should not be entered. Plaintiff shall serve this order on defendant and file a certificate of service. Mailed notice. |

| 17 | 2026-04-09 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's motion 16 for electronic service of process is granted. While a preferable means of service, the court is cognizant of the fact that physical service is not always possible. In this case, Plaintiff certifies that it has attempted, but has been unable, to obtain a physical address for defendant. In such a circumstance, a less preferable form of service is permissible. Service via email is "reasonably calculated" to be received by defendant, and it is thus adequate in this case. Mullane v. Cent. Hanover Bank & Tr. Co., 339 U.S 306, 319 (1950). What's more, service via email is not barred under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4. Thus, plaintiff may serve process via email. Mailed notice. |

("Amazon") (the "Third Party Providers"), shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of such notice, provide to Plaintiff expedited discovery, limited to copies of documents and records in such person's or entity's possession or control sufficient to determine: the identities and locations of Defendant, its officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and any persons acting in active concert or participation with them, including all known contact information and all associated e-mail addresses.
