16	10/22/2025	TEMPORARY Restraining Order Signed by the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani on 10/22/2025. Mailed notice
15	10/22/2025	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery [11], and motion for electronic service of process [13] are granted. Plaintiff's submissions establish that were defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. For the purpose of the motions cited above, plaintiff's filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that their assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. Further, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit products, and there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. 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 defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order at 4:00 p.m. on 10/22/2025. Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) if appropriate no later than 10/29/2025. Telephone status hearing is set for 11/5/2025 at 9:15 a.m. Mailed notice

10	10/08/2025	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of 231 defendants in this case.

By 10/14/2025, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder.
