11/05/20	Deckers Outdoor Corp v. Partnerships Unincorp Associations 1:20-CV-02931 ( N.D. IL )	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: Plaintiffs ex parte motion to seal 10 , motion for a temporary restraining order 20 and motion for electronic service of process 25 are granted. The plaintiffs written submissions establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiffs interests in identifying defendants, stopping the infringement, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the submitted evidence establishes a strong likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement of plaintiffs design patent and sales into Illinois), the harm to plaintiff is irreparable and an injunction is in the public interest because infringement interferes with the property rights inherent in plaintiffs patent, including plaintiffs right to control its design. Those rights cannot be fully compensated by money damages. Although, the court notes that patent protection is unlike trademark protection designed to protect consumers from confusion about the source of a product. Plaintiffs patent interests are more compensable through damages than in other similar trademark cases brought by counsel, and the public interest in an injunction is less compelling here. Nevertheless, there is some irreparable harm 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 is an effective, perhaps the most effective, way to communicate with defendants. The court has doubts about the propriety of joinder and whether plaintiff genuinely intends to pursue an accounting (justifying an asset freeze), but at this preliminary stage the court is persuaded that plaintiff has sufficient indicia of coordinated activity and prospect of an accounting to justify the requested relief as to all defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S.
