| 2026-03-13 | DEFAULT JUDGMENT. The plaintiff's motion for default judgment 48 is granted. The Court awards the plaintiff $3,000 in statutory damages against each defendant for willful counterfeiting. The plaintiff presented evidence that no defendant had more than $100 in infringing sales. Therefore, the Court awards the statutory minimum, trebled, as to each defendant, which far exceeds each defendant's revenue. Any more would be unjust. Civil case terminated. Signed by the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel on 3/13/2026. Mailed notice. |

| 2025-10-10 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 20 is granted in part. The plaintiff's have established that the defendants sell t-shirts and posters bearing performing artist Madonna's image. On their respective websites, the defendants use the plaintiff's registered mark "MADONNA," which is the subject of two separate registrations, U.S. Registration Nos. 1,463,601 and 1,473,554. The latter is a service mark registered in connection with entertainment services. The Court questioned whether the plaintiff could assert a mark for entertainment services here, where the defendant did not offer such services. The plaintiff in its supplemental brief correctly notes that the test remains whether the accused use is likely to confuse consumers. In other words, as the Federal Circuit explained, "that the goods and services at issue fall within different classes does not preclude a finding that they are similar." In re Detroit Athletic |

| 2025-09-16 | RESPONSE to Order to Show Cause |
| 2025-09-15 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff may proceed on the amended complaint against four defendants. The plaintiff contends that it ordered an item from each of the four defendants, and that all the items arrived in the same package, which supports a finding that the separate orders are part of the same occurrence or series of occurrences. Accordingly, the Court exercises its discretion and allows joinder of these four defendants. Mailed notice. |

| 2025-08-29 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff's motion to seal 4 is denied. "The court may for good cause shown enter an order directing that one or more documents be filed under seal." L.R. 26.2(b). "[A] district court must be sensitive to the rights of the public in determining whether any particular document, or class of documents, is appropriately filed under seal." United States v. Corbitt, 879 F.2d 224, 228 (7th Cir. 1989). Here, the plaintiff seeks to temporarily seal the list of defendants it has sued and exhibits to a declaration in support of a temporary restraining order that it has yet to file. The plaintiff argues that it intends to seek temporary ex parte relief and that sealing is necessary to prevent the defendants from learning of these proceedings prior to execution of the temporary restraining order. The plaintiff claims that the defendants would destroy evidence and hide or transfer assets, which would frustrate the plaintiff's ability to secure |
| 2025-08-29 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging infringement by 67 defendants. This case follows a pattern common to "Schedule A" cases where plaintiffs allege that defendants employ similar methods and "work in active concert" to infringe plaintiffs' intellectual property. But experience has shown that not all defendants named in a Schedule A case work together. More importantly, experience has shown that joinder under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20 is rarely appropriate in Schedule A cases. See, e.g., Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 9401, Dkt. 27 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 18, 2024). Accordingly, the Court raises the propriety of joinder and requires the plaintiff to file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder on or before September 12, 2025. Alternatively, by the same date, the plaintiff may file an amended complaint naming one or more defendants; however, if the plaintiff names multiple defendants, the plaint |
