MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Upon review of the complaint, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has shown that the Court can exercise personal jurisdiction over the defendant. To adequately plead personal jurisdiction, Plaintiff must sufficiently allege that the defendant actually sold the allegedly infringing product to a customer in Illinois. See Liu v. Monthly, No. 25-2074, 2026 WL 880018, at *1 (7th Cir. Mar. 31, 2026) (citing Curry v. Revolution Lab'ys, LLC, 949 F.3d 385, 400 (7th Cir. 2020)). The complaint alleges sales in this district, but those allegations are conclusory, and Plaintiff did not provide proof of actual sales in this district. See id. (remanding with instructions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction because plaintiff had not provided screenshot evidence of actual sales in Illinois). Additionally, Plaintiff has not established good cause under Local Rule 26.2 or Seventh Circuit precedent to justify sealing the name of defendant or documents pertaining to alleged infringing activity. "Secrecy makes little sense if the goal of the litigation is to protect rightsholders' IP interests by obtaining an injunction against defendants' sales of infringing or counterfeit goods." See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A", 794 F. Supp. 3d 543, 552 (N.D. Ill. 2025). More importantly, this presumption of sealing runs counter to the well-established authority of this Circuit holding that "[m]any a litigant would prefer that the subject of the case. be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing." See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-568 (7th Cir. 2000). For these reasons, the motion for leave to file under seal 8 is denied. The Clerk of Court is directed, forthwith, to (1) unseal the document filed at 9 and (2) update the caption / case title and parties on the docket to reflect that Defendant is "Jinhua City Jindong District Zhuoyun E-Commerce Co., Ltd." By 5/5/26, Plaintiff must file either an amended complaint or supplemental statement establishing a basis for personal jurisdiction. Failure to do so will result in the current complaint being dismissed without prejudice and this case being closed. Mailed notice (gel,)
