| 21 | 2026-05-20 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for electronic service of process 17 is granted as to Defendant No. 1 in the Schedule A to the Amended Complaint. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendant. By 7/1/2026, Plaintiff shall file a status report with an update on the case. Telephone status hearing is set for 7/8/2026 at 9:15 a.m. Mailed notice |
| 20 | 2026-04-27 | SUPPLEMENT to text entry, 19 for jurisdiction (Quezada Hastings, Sofia) |
| 19 | 2026-04-27 | MINUTES: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process 17 is entered and continued. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the issue of whether the Court has specific personal jurisdiction over the defendant. Evidence "that it was possible to order the defendants' products and have them shipped to Illinois," including screenshots of the defendant's "website showing the checkout page with the infringing product, a Chicago shipping address, and the estimated total," but without evidence of a completed purchase is insufficient. Liu v. Monthly, 170 F.4th 1090, 1093 (7th Cir. 2026). By 5/4/2026, plaintiff shall file supplemental evidence showing a sale within the jurisdiction or a status report stating its basis to continue this case without such sale. Mailed notice |

Harjani: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 6, plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order 7, and plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process 9 are entered and continued. Upon review of the complaint and the TRO submissions, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of 159 defendants in this case. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 3/24/2026, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with a single defendant or a smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 189. Mailed notice |
