07/16/24	Huang v. Partnerships Unincorp Associations 1:24-CV-05569 ( N.D. IL )	MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Plaintiff's renewed motion for TRO 12 16 is denied without prejudice for two reasons. First, the screenshots for nearly all of the defendants do not demonstrate that the allegedly infringing products are being offered for sale in Illinois. That evidence of purposefully directed activities is the bare minimum for establishing personal jurisdiction in schedule A cases. See NBA Properties, Inc. v. HANWJH, 46 F.4th 614 (7th Cir. 2022), cert. denied, 143 S. Ct. 577 (2023). Second, the Court will require the plaintiff to certify the date(s) on which the screenshots being used as evidence were taken, as that information is necessary in ascertaining whether there is an ongoing need for preliminary injunctive relief. A renewed motion and renewed versions of any necessary exhibits may be filed by 8/2/24. Mailed notice (air, ) (Entered: 07/16/2024) MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J.

07/12/24	Guo v. Partnerships Unincorp Associations 1:24-CV-03318 ( N.D. IL )	ORDER ALLOWING LIMITED DISCOVERY PRIOR TO RULE 26(F) CONFERENCE Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 7/12/2024. Emailed notice. (cdh, ) (Entered: 07/12/2024)
07/12/24	Guo v. Partnerships Unincorp Associations 1:24-CV-03318 ( N.D. IL )	MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Take Discovery Prior to Rule 26(f) Conference 28 is granted in part. As the Court previously explained 27, Plaintiff may pursue discovery from third-party platforms to obtain reliable contact information for the Schedule A Defendants. However, any request for sales and financial data, that would arguably go to the question of damages in this patent infringement case, is premature. The Court has modified Plaintiff's proposed order accordingly. Enter Order. By 8/2/24, Plaintiff must file a status report updating the Court on any subpoena responses received and when a renewed motion for alternative service will be filed. Because Plaintiff is attempting to serve defendants who are purportedly located in a foreign country, the 90-day deadline under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) would not apply. Nevertheless, service must be completed in a reasonable amount of time to keep this case moving forward. Emailed notice. (cdh, ) (Entered: 07/12/2024) MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A.
