SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Manish S. Shah on 7/11/2024. Notices Mailed. (psm, ) (Entered: 07/11/2024)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The motion for a temporary restraining order 6 is granted. Although the court is not persuaded that joinder is appropriate or that every defendant is selling the same accused product, the court will wait for a defendant to appear and raise misjoinder to have the benefit of adversarial presentation. Plaintiff's complaint identifies three patents, but plaintiff's supplemental memorandum and exhibit explains that it is alleging infringement of only one patent. That change is material. The court warns plaintiff's counsel that filing a complaint alleging infringement of multiple patents when those allegations are not supported by the available evidence may violate Rule 11. Security in the amount of $200,000 must be posted within seven days. Enter Sealed TRO. Notices Mailed. (psm, ) (Entered: 07/11/2024)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The motion to seal 11 is granted. Plaintiff has demonstrated that if defendants are alerted to the filings, they are likely to take steps to evade identification and plaintiff's efforts to enforce its patents. The motion to file excess pages 12 is granted. The motion for a TRO is taken under advisement. Plaintiff must file a supplemental exhibit listing each defendant and identifying the specific patent allegedly infringed by that defendant along with an image comparing that defendant's product to the patented design. Plaintiff must also file a supplemental brief explaining why joinder of all 195 defendants is appropriate under 35 U.S.C. s. 299(a)(1) and explain how each defendant sold "the same accused product." That each defendant has allegedly infringed the patent(s) in suit is insufficient to establish joinder. 35 U.S.C. s. 299(b). From the court's review of the evidence, not every defendant is accused of selling the same product or infringing the same patent(s). Plaintiff's supplemental filings are due 7/15/24 and may be filed under seal. No appearance on 7/9/24 is necessary. (mss) (Entered: 07/05/2024)
