MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal 12 is granted. Mailed notice. (jcc,)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's Schedule A Template 10. However, Plaintiff has filed the Schedule A Template under seal without filing a corresponding motion to seal as is required by Local Rule 26.2. Plaintiff is directed to file a motion to seal within two business days. Separately, given that Defendant appears to be a Chinese corporation, Plaintiff is directed to file by 10/5/26 a status report addressing how it plans to effectuate service upon Defendant in light of Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Imp. & Exp. Co., No. 25-2205, 2026 WL 1502198 (7th Cir. May 29, 2026). To the extent Plaintiff intends to file a request for service via electronic means, Plaintiff must ensure the request for electronic service complies with Kangol. Plaintiff must support any such motion with sworn affidavits and legal authority so the Court may determine whether Plaintiff has made reasonably diligent efforts to ascertain and verify Defendant's address. Mailed notice. (jcc,)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal 5 is granted in part. Plaintiff may file the Schedule A under seal, but Plaintiff's trademark registration certificate will not be sealed because it is already publicly available. Moreover, the Court will not preemptively allow the sealing of "limited infringement evidence" not yet submitted by Plaintiff. Each document Plaintiff would like to submit under seal must be accompanied by its own motion to seal with an explanation for why sealing is appropriate. Because Plaintiff has filed its trademark registration certificate under seal with the Schedule A, Docket Entry 4 will remain under seal, and Plaintiff is ordered to file an unsealed copy of its trademark registration certificate on the docket by 9/11/2026. Plaintiff is also directed to the Court's standing order on its website directing the filing of the Court's Schedule A Template within 14 days. Mailed notice. (jcc,)
