| 2026-06-29 | ORDER written by the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins on 6/29/2026. Mailed notice. |
| 2026-06-29 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:The motions for summary judgment [193] [203] [207] are denied. The case is dismissed without prejudice for lack of personal jurisdiction (or alternatively for insufficient service of process). See the attached order for further details. Because the court concludes that it is without personal jurisdiction over Yiwu Wenzan, it lacks authority to address the merits of the parties' disputes or enter any judgment against a party over whom it lacks personal jurisdiction. Davis v. Carter, 61 F. App'x 277, 279 (7th Cir. March 13, 2003) ("A court lacks authority to enter a judgment binding persons over whom it lacks personal jurisdiction.") Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion for fees [217] is denied as moot. The case is dismissed without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. Mailed notice. |

| 2026-06-08 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co has until June 15, 2026 to file any response to Plaintiff's brief concerning waiver filed at docket entry [222]. The court requests that Defendant's filing focus on whether it has waived an insufficient service of process defense and whether it has waived its personal jurisdiction defense. Mailed notice. |
| 2026-06-08 | Exhibit B |
| 2026-06-01 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:In light of the Seventh Circuit's recent decision in Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Imp. & Exp. Co., No. 25-2205, 2026 WL 1502198 (7th Cir. May 29, 2026), the court has concerns that electronic service in this case was not proper, including as to the remaining Defendant No. 224 Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. In the Schedule A template [31] filed in the case, Plaintiff makes the representation that Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd., among other named defendants, is based in China. [Dkt. 31 at 22.] Indeed, Jing Zhu, who is the sole proprietor of Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd, has made numerous filings directly with the court stating that Zhu is a resident of China, including in connection with the telephonic status hearing held in July 2025. [See e.g. Dkt. 120, 130.] Kangol holds that the Hague Convention prohibits email service to an entity in China. Plaintiff is asked to submit a supplemental br |

| 2026-03-23 | OPPOSITION by Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. to plaintiff's summary judgment[207] (Received via pro se online portal on 3/23/26.) |
| 2026-03-17 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant has filed a renewed motion for summary judgment following the court's order at docket entry 202. The filing includes a list of seven "undisputed material facts" even though Local Rule 56.1 required that those facts be set out in a separate filing. Still, the filing can stand and Plaintiff's response to Defendant's motion for summary judgment and to the undisputed material facts is due by March 31, 2026; any reply from Plaintiff is due by April 14, 2026. Defendant's response to Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment remains due by March 23, 2026 and Plaintiff's reply brief remains due by April 6, 2026. The motion to strike 201 is granted and the filings at docket entries 198 and 199 are terminated and stricken. Mailed notice. |

| 2026-03-06 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion for excess pages [200] is granted. Regarding the motion to strike, the court takes seriously statements by counsel that Defendant's motion for summary judgment misquotes cited caselaw, gives summaries of caselaw that are inconsistent with the findings in those cases and in some circumstances has even fabricated citations. As the Seventh Circuit has recently observed, citations to non-existent cases or to false support in existing cases are hallmarks of generative artificial intelligence. Jones v. Kankakee Cnty. Sheriff's Dep't, 164 F.4th 967, 970-971 (7th Cir. 2026). "[A]ll litigantsrepresented and unrepresentedmust read their filings and take reasonable care to avoid misrepresentations, factual and legal."

| 2026-03-05 | MOTION by Plaintiff TV Tokyo Corporation for leave to file excess pages Plaintiff's Motion to Exceed Page Limitation |
| 2026-02-24 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The renewed motion to modify the asset restraint [190] is denied. The court modified the asset restraint in May 2025, see dkt. [119], but has explained several times since then that a further reduction is not warranted. See dkts. [125], [132], [137]. The renewed motion argues that "Plaintiff cannot prove essential elements of its claim, the restraint has no legal basis," but that determination has not been made. In fact, Plaintiff has now filed a motion for summary judgment which is the way for the court to determine whether Plaintiff has established if genuine issue of material fact exists about whether Defendant is offering for sale and selling unauthorized products bearing Plaintiff's copyrighted images on Defendant's store. The motion for excess pages [192] is granted. Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd's response to the motion for summary judgment remains due by March 23, 2026, and Defendant sho |

| 2025-12-31 | ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necess |
| 2025-12-22 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: In light of the information contained in the status report filed at docket entry 180, Plaintiff's motion to compel [176] is denied as moot. The status report indicates that the relevant depositions have now occurred. Mailed notice. |
| 2025-12-22 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant's motion to compel [178] is partly granted. Though Defendant is proceeding pro se, Defendant did a poor job of providing the court with all the information necessary to rule on the motion to compel. The motion concerns Defendant's second request for production of documents served on November 3, 2025, and its second set of interrogatories and requests for admission served on November 8, 2025. Though the court generally agrees that Defendant issued these written discovery requests far too late, fact discovery had not yet closed, and the requests were issued in time for completion by the December 15, 2025 close of fact discovery deadline. Plaintiff argues that the November requests are duplicative of written discovery requests Defendant previously issued in the case. Specifically, Plaintiff says that it previously responded to similar requests to produce in May 2025; and previously responded to si |

| 2025-12-15 | STATUS Report by TV Tokyo Corporation |
| 2025-12-11 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Though it is not entirely clear whether Defendant faithfully complied with Local Rule 37.2 to meet and confer before filing the motion to compel, it appears that there have been some communications between the parties about the described discovery deficiencies. The motion also states that both S. Suave Lobodzinski and Xin Lan have now been deposed. It also states that Defendant issued a second round of written discovery in November 2025 and that Plaintiff has not responded even though fact discovery has not closed. Plaintiff's response to the motion to compel is due by December 18, 2025. No replies unless the court requests a reply. The status report concerning the close of fact discovery as described in docket entry 177 remains due by January 16, 2026. Mailed notice. |
| 2025-12-09 | MOTION to Compel Plaintiff's Discovery responses under Fed. R. Civ. P. 33,34,36, and 37 filed by Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. (Received via pro se online portal on 12/9/2025) |
| 2025-11-19 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion to compel is entered and continued. In light of the matters raised by the motion, the court on its own motion extends fact discovery to December 15, 2025. For the reasons already explained in the court's order dated August 14, 2025, the court is prepared to issue sanctions under FRCP 37(b)(2)(A) and 37(d) based on Defendant's refusal to participate in fact discovery. Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. has represented in court filings and in response to written discovery that S. Suave Lobodzinski and Xin Lan are employees of Defendant. Defendant must make S. Suave Lobodzinski and Xin Lan available for a deposition on or before December 15, 2025. As previously ordered, Jing Zhu must also sit for a second deposition by this deadline. If all three depositions do not occur by this deadline, then the court intends to impose sanctions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 37. For the avoidance of doubt, this is |

| 2025-10-28 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion to reset [173] is granted. In light of defense counsel's withdrawal from the case, the order issued at docket entry [163] on August 14, 2025 remains in full effect and the deadlines listed in that order are modified as follows: plaintiff may re-depose Jing Zhu and depose S. Suave Lobodzinski and Xin Lan by no later than December 8, 2025. In addition, Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co must provide adequate responses to Plaintiff's written discovery by November 11, 2025. The court warns Jing Zhu personally and Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co that the failure to comply with these deadlines and the prior directions in the order means that the court will impose appropriate sanctions under Rule 37(b)(2)(A), which may include entry of default judgment against Defendant, a step that will effectively issue judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant and allow Plaintiff to collect damag |

| 2025-08-14 | ORDER: The court issues the attached order on Plaintiff's motion to compel; the motion is entered and continued. As detailed in the order: 1. Jing Zhu must sit for a second deposition from Plaintiff by or before September 22, 2025, See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(a)(2)(A)(ii); and 2. Defendant must make S. Suave Lobodzinski and Xin Lan available for depositions by or before September 22, 2025; and 3. Defendant has one final opportunity to provide adequate responses to Plaintiff's outstanding written discovery, which must be submitted to Plaintiff by no later than August 21, 2025. Fact discovery is extended to September 29, 2025, and a joint status report is due by September 25, 2025. Once these things are accomplished, the court will provide Defendant an opportunity to respond in writing to the request for fees and costs associated with the motion and with the re-deposition the court has ordered. The court has now made crystal clear what Defendant and Jing Zhu must |

| 2025-08-13 | Exhibit A |
| 2025-08-05 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The court encourages Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. to obtain US counsel, but it declines the extend the fact discovery deadline beyond August 29, 2025. If Defendant obtains counsel and that person files an appearance in the case, the court will take up any issues regarding discovery at that time. But the previous deadlines and instructions and deadlines stand, see docket entries 150 and 152. Mailed notice. |
| 2025-08-01 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:The motion to compel 153 is denied. Defendant issued a deficiency letter regarding Plaintiff's responses to interrogatories, requests to admit and requests to produce. Plaintiff's responses to that discovery have been docketed at entries 140, 142, 143 and 144. The court disagrees that Plaintiff's responses are deficient. Many of the answers direct Defendant to Plaintiff's Copyright Registration No. PA 2-276-002, which it provided with its responses. Defendant has requested "the high quality of the original cloud copyrighted artwork image," but the motion does not explain the need for this information in light of the registration information produced. Given that this case alleges that Defendant infringed Plaintiff's copyright, Plaintiff need not provide Defendant with "a high-quality image, digital file with meta data," when the image has been provided in the registration documents. None of Defendant's oth |

| 2025-07-31 | MOTION to Obtain Counsel and extend the deposition and discovery deadline filed by Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. (Received via pro se online portal on 7/31/2025) |
| 2025-07-31 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: After the telephone conference in this matter concluded on July 30, 2025, the clerk's office docketed Defendant's response to Plaintiff's motion to compel discovery responses [Dkt 151]. The document objects to Plaintiff's written discovery requests by stating things like "Plaintiff has not registered the red Cloud graphic copyright individually"; "Plaintiff has no right to make claim without holding copyright of red cloud graphic"; "in no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea"; and that "Copyright cannot cover the Red Cloud image." These statements are not responsive to the interrogatories, requests for production or requests to admit so the court overrules Defendant's objections. The motion to compel has been granted and Defendant must provide written responses to Plaintiff's discovery requests as previously ordered. To repeat, the court now orders Defendan |
| 2025-07-30 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Telephone conference held. For the reasons stated on the record, Plaintiff's motion to compel responses to discovery request of Defendant No. 224 Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co, Ltd. and for attorneys' fees [138] withdrawn. Plaintiff's motion to extend the discovery deadline and to compel the deposition of Defendant No. 224 Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co, Ltd. [148] is granted in part. Fact discovery is extended to August 29, 2025. The parties shall arrange for the Defendant's deposition by August 1, 2025 and for the remaining depositions during the week of August 4, 2025. Plaintiff shall submit a proposed protective order to the Judge's P.O. Box by or before August 6, 2025. Defendant shall respond to the written discovery deficiencies by August 6, 2025. By August 13, 2025, the parties shall jointly file a status report as to the progress of fact discovery. Mailed notice. |

| 2025-07-29 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion to dismiss [147] is denied. The court already denied Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd's motion to dismiss in a written order dated February 12, 2025. [See docket entry [103]]. This Defendant has also filed an answer, see docket entry [93], so the motion is procedurally improper and substantively frivolous, especially considering that fact discovery is nearing its end. The July 30, 2025 telephonic status hearing stands, where the court will address both Plaintiff's motion to compel and the motion to extend the fact discovery deadline. Defendant should be prepared to say (a) when he will provide answers to written discovery; and (b) when he will sit for his deposition. The court advises Defendant that it has the power to enter default judgment against a party to a case who violates discovery rules or other court orders, as one of several available sanctions. Fed.

| 2025-07-23 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The court construes the motion to extend [145] as a request that the court allow Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd's upcoming deposition to taken place by zoom given its residence in China. It also requests the court change the date of the deposition from July 24, 2025 to July 28, 2025. It appears reasonable to allow the deposition to proceed virtually under the circumstances, and the court requests that Plaintiff's counsel accommodate that aspect of the motion (if counsel had not already communicated its willingness to do so). The court encourages the parties to work out an agreeable date and time for the deposition, but declines to order a specific date for the deposition, other than that the deposition must occur before the close of fact discovery on July 28, 2025. Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd is reminded that its response to the motion to compel and for attorney's fees is due by July 2 |

It is not clear the extent to which the parties met and conferred as required by LR 37.2. The motion references time Plaintiff expended meeting and conferring, but the details of those efforts are not spelled out. Defendant may file a brief in response to the motion to compel by July 28, 2025, and before the July 30 status hearing, the parties are directed to make a genuine effort to comply with LR 37.2 about their disagreements and be prepared to explain those efforts at the hearing.

| 2025-07-18 | Exhibit D |
| 2025-07-03 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co has submitted its third filing asking the court to modify the asset restraint. The most recent motion relies on the same information submitted with the second motion for reconsideration, that is the screenshot attached to docket entry [130] at page 3. It also cites to other district court cases where courts modified the restraint so as not to "exceed the profits generated from the sales." The court already took these matters into account when it concluded that a $460,000 asset restraint was unwarranted because it potentially included money that Defendant obtained from the sales of other products unrelated to this case. But the court declines, for the final time, to reduce the restraint to $0 or $3.80, which is the amount Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co says constitutes its revenue from sales of the allegedly infringing product. Fact discovery will reveal the extent of sales of infringing and |

| 2025-06-17 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion for reconsideration [131] related to the asset freeze is denied. Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. has stated multiple times in multiple ways that the Asset Restraint should be reduced to $0 because revenue from sales of the allegedly infringing product is $0.00. The materials it submitted most recently hardly constitute an accounting: it has filed a one-page screenshot of an Alibaba "amount details page" that is nearly indecipherable to the court, and has not been subject to adversarial testing through fact discovery. The court already reduced the restraint but declines to eliminate it altogether for the reasons already explained. The schedule at docket entry [126] stands. Mailed notice. |

| 2025-06-09 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: As between Plaintiff and Defendant No. 224 "Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd," the status report states that the parties have exchanged written discovery. Based on the report, fact discovery will close by the June 27, 2025 deadline. The court modifies the proposed expert discovery schedule as follows: Plaintiff must disclose any expert witness by July 25, 2025 and any expert witness disclosed by Plaintiff must be deposed by August 29, 2025. By August 25, 2025, the parties must jointly file a status report that (a) confirms Plaintiff's expert witness discovery has concluded; and (b) confirms that Defendant intends to designate and disclose an expert witness. If Defendant intends to disclose an expert witness, then that that aspect of expert discovery must conclude by September 26, 2025. The court will then set a dispositive motion briefing schedule to commence in October 2025. Mailed notice. |
| 2025-06-09 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd has filed additional documents concerning its request to modify the asset restraint [121, 123, 124]. The court already granted the motion to modify the restraint and reduced it from $460,000 to $150,000. In so doing, the court considered the argument that there has been $0 in revenue from sales of the allegedly infringing products, but the court declined to reduce the restraint to $0. Given the list price of Defendant's hats and the considerable inventory Defendant has on hand (See Dkt. 115 at 6 "An asset restraint is appropriate given the fact that Defendant has disclosed an inventory of at least 1,000,000 hats priced from $0.95 to $1.68 per hat), some restraint remains necessary. The court has authority to freeze assets "to preserve an equitable accounting of profits, a remedy provided to counterfeiting victims by 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a)." Klipsch Grp., Inc. v. Big Bo |

| 2025-05-29 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Jing Zhu, Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd's motion to modify the asset restraint [112] is granted. Defendant argues that the nearly $460,000 currently restrained in its Alibaba account should be limited to that which Plaintiff is reasonably likely to recover pursuant to an equitable accounting of profits in this case. 17 U.S.C. § 504(a). According to this Defendant, there has been $0 in revenue from sales of the allegedly infringing products. Plaintiff responds that Defendant's actual sales remain disputed since no discovery has taken place, and even if Defendant's sales were known, Plaintiff's actual damages are irrelevant to a determination of statutory damages. It also argues that its request for an asset restraint prevents asset dissipation until a final accounting can be performed. [115] The Court agrees with Defendant, however, that the current asset restraint covers a substantial amount, in |

| 2025-04-24 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Quanzhou Haixin Garment Technology Co's motion to modify the asset restraint [97] is granted. Defendant argues that $165,720.52 is restrained in its Alibaba seller account "as compared to a total revenue and maximum equitable award of $0 from sales of the allegedly infringing products, which strains equity." Plaintiff responds only by arguing that it would be premature for the Court to reduce the asset restraint before the parties complete discovery. Still, the Court agrees with Defendant that there is at least some indication that the current restraint includes funds that Defendant obtained from the sales of other products unrelated to the alleged infringing sales in this case, and Plaintiff has no interest or claim in those funds. [Dkt. 66-1 at 2.] A reduction of the restraint is appropriate, though the Court declines to eliminate the restrain altogether as Defendant advocates. After all, Pla |

| 2025-02-12 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd's motion to dismiss [93] is denied, though the filing at docket entry [93] may stand as this Defendant's answer. See attached Order for further details. The Court imposes the same fact discovery schedule on Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd as is in place for the other appearing Defendant in this case. That is, Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures are due by February 28, 2025; written discovery may issue beginning on March 28, 2025; third-party platform discovery may issue by March 28, 2025; all fact discovery including third-party platform discovery must be noticed in time for completion by June 27, 2025. All the parties are to file a joint status report by June 6, 2025 that confirms fact discovery will conclude on time and that proposes an expert discovery schedule. Mailed notice. |
| 2025-02-10 | Exhibit D |
| 2025-01-27 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd's motion to reconsider [96] is granted. Jing Zhu represents that he is the sole proprietor doing business as Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. Mr. Zhu argues that as a sole proprietor, he may appear on Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co.'s behalf. The Seventh Circuit agrees that a sole proprietorship may litigate pro se. United States v. Hagerman, 545 F.3d 579, 581 (7th Cir. 2008) ("A sole proprietorship may litigate pro se. because it has no legal identity separate from the proprietor himself." (citations omitted)); Jeroski v. Fed. Mine Safety & Health Rev. Comm'n, 697 F.3d 651, 652 (7th Cir. 2012) ("A proprietorship is not a legal entity, but merely a name under which the owner, who is the real party in interest, does business."). Thus, Yiwu Wenzan's filing at [93], which the Court treats as a motion to dismiss, shall stand. Plaintiff's response is due by February 10, 2 |

[97], Plaintiff's response to the motion is due by February 24, 2025 and Defendant Quanzhou Haixin's reply is due by March 3, 2025. The Court imposes the following fact discovery schedule as proposed by Plaintiff and Defendant Quanzhou Haixin Garment: Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures are due by February 28, 2025; written discovery may issue beginning on March 28, 2025; third-party platform discovery may issue by March 28, 2025; all fact discovery including third-party platform discovery must be noticed in time for completion by June 27, 2025.

Jenkins: As to Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd., the Court provided this Defendant until January 17, 2025 to retain US counsel and file an answer to the complaint, or otherwise resolve the matter with Plaintiff. The filings at docket entries 93 and 94 were made by Jing Zhu, who is not a licensed lawyer and therefore he cannot make filings on behalf of Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd. The declaration states that Jing Zhu is operator and business owner, but not that he is licensed to represent another entity in this case. The Court provided Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., Ltd with more than 3 weeks to either retain counsel who can appear and answer the matter, but that has not occurred, so the filing at 93 is stricken. Plaintiff should file the appropriate motion as to this Defendant by or before February 5, 2025. Mailed notice. |

See Daimler AG v. Bauman, 571 U.S. 117, 12628 (2014), and Plaintiff has established a prima facie case of specific personal jurisdiction over Defendant Quanzhou Haixin Garment Technology Co., Ltd. Defendant's argument against specific personal jurisdiction is that it did not conduct business in Illinois and did not direct or target their allegedly infringing activities to the Illinois market [Dkts. 66, 89] But the materials included in Plaintiff's response, including a purchase order dated March 2024 using an order number ending in 6462 involved an order for a counterfeit product from Defendant, that listed a Bensenville, Illinois address for shipping that had been placed but was awaiting confirmation.

| 2024-12-23 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The Order of default is vacated as to Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., LTD only. This Defendant should not have been included in the default judgment materials Plaintiff submitted because the Court directed the parties to meet and confer and provide an update by way of a status report. It is unclear whether the conferral occurred as the Court directed. Lobodzinsk reports that the parties did not confer [79] and Plaintiff's status report states only that the parties were not able to reach an agreement [81]. In light of Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., LTD.'s efforts to appear and respond and the Court's preference to resolve cases on the merits, the Court provides Defendant Yiwu Wenzan Apparel Co., LTD until January 17, 2025 to retain US counsel and file an answer to the complaint, or otherwise resolve the matter with Plaintiff.

| 2024-12-19 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The following order does not apply to Defendant Quanzhou Haixin Garment Technology Co., Ltd. No Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [69] is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by Plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, Plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of Plaintiff's marks irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by Defendants (Plaintiff has failed to seek an accounting of profits), the value of Plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the court concludes that $75,00 |

All remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before December 18, 2024. If no objections are filed by that date, the court will consider the motion unopposed.

The Court does not know whether Lobodzinski is a licensed attorney, but a pro se litigant may only represent himself in federal court, not another person or entity. A search of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission website shows that Lobodzinski is not a licensed attorney in Illinois, nor does he appear to be a member of the Court's bar, and he did not file an attorney appearance in this case. The Court directs Plaintiff's counsel to confer with Lobodzinski to see if the matter can be resolved, and to file a status report by December 20, 2024.

Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods.
