10/22/24	Zhang v. Partnerships Unincorp Associations 1:24-CV-10804 ( N.D. IL )	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: This case was filed against 94 defendants for selling ceiling fans that allegedly infringe a design patent registered to Plaintiff. Under Rule 20, a plaintiff may join multiple defendants in a single action if: (1) the claims against them are asserted "with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences," and (2) a "question of law or fact common to all defendants" exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)(B). In reviewing the filings in this case, it does not appear that joinder is proper as to all Defendants. As the Court stated in Roadget Business Pte. Ltd. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Cos., Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright, trademark, or patent in the same way, without more, does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find joinder proper. No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at 67 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024). The Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by 11/5/2024, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Court's order in Roadget.
