May 27, 2025TRANSFERRED to the Western District of Texas the electronic record. (gcy, ) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 5/27/2025.] (Entered: 05/27/2025)TRANSFERRED
May 23, 2025MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Defendant, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Austin, Texas, has moved to transfer this case to the Western District of Texas, see 86 . Plaintiffs, all Chinese and California companies, oppose the motion. 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) provides: "For the convenience of parties and witnesses, and in the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or division where it might have been brought." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Transfer under § 1404(a) therefore is proper if "(1) venue is proper in both the transferee and transferor courts; (2) it is for the convenience of the parties or witnesses; and (3) it is in the interest of justice." Devlin v. Equitable Fin. Life Ins. Co., No. 24 C 5962, 2025 WL 1068856, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 9, 2025). The parties agree that venue is proper here, see 55 at 16; 56 at 18, and venue unquestionably remains proper in the Western District of Texas, where Defendant's principal place of business is located. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(1), (c)(2) ("A civil action may be brought in... a judicial district in which any defendant resides, if all defendants are residents of the State in which the district is located"; s corporation "resides" "in any judicial district in which such defendant is subject to the court's personal jurisdiction with respect to the civil action in question"). "In determining whether the transfer would be in the 'interest of justice,' a court may consider several factors, including 'docket congestion and likely speed to trial in the transferor and potential transferee forums,' 'each court's relative familiarity with the relevant law,' 'the respective desirability of resolving controversies in each locale,' and 'the relationship of each community to the controversy.'" In re Ryze Claims Sols., LLC, 968 F.3d 701, 70708 (7th Cir. 2020) (quoting Rsch. Automation, Inc. v. Schrader-Bridgeport Int'l, Inc., 626 F.3d 973, 978 (7th Cir. 2010)). When considering a transfer motion, a court must engage in a "flexible and individualized analysis" and "look beyond a narrow or rigid set of considerations in their determinations." Id. (quoting Rsch. Automation, Inc., 626 F.3d at 978). See also Coffey v. Van Dorn Iron Works, 796 F.2d 217, 219 (7th Cir.1986) (In deciding whether to transfer venue under § 1404(a), a court weighs factors for and against transfer, a process that "involves a large degree of subtlety and latitude, and, therefore, is committed to the sound discretion of the trial judge."). As the moving party, Defendant bears the burden of demonstrating that the Western District of Texas "is clearly more convenient and/or that a transfer under 1404(a) will better serve the interests of justice." Jaramillo v. DineEquity, Inc., 664 F. Supp. 2d 908, 913 (N.D. Ill. 2009). To this end, Defendant argues that this case has no connection to Illinois, that Defendant and all of Defendant's witnesses reside in Texas, and that the parties have already litigated the patents at issue in Texas. See 86 . Plaintiffs do not dispute the lack of any Illinois connection; nor do they dispute Defendant's representation that it and its witnesses are located in the Western District of Texas. Instead, Plaintiffs argue that Defendant already conceded that venue is proper here, which is true, but irrelevant under § 1404(a); Defendant is not arguing that venue here is improper, only that transfer is appropriate under § 1404(a). Indeed, Defendant's motion necessarily assumes that venue is proper here. Plaintiffs also argue that Defendant delayed in seeking to transfer the matter and that the existence of prior litigation in Texas remains immaterial because the prior matter is closed. As to the former, the statute "provides no time limit for moving to transfer and courts have merely held that a party should act with reasonable promptness." F.T.C. v. Am. Tax Relief LLC, No. 10 C 6123, 2011 WL 2893059, at *3 (N.D. Ill. July 2MINUTE

Defendant shall file any such motion by 4/28/25.

Mar 7, 2025 Joint STATEMENT by DONGGUANSHIGUANGLIYINGDIANZIKEJIYOUXIANGONGSI, R&T BROTHERS LLC, Rongbang Enterprise USA INC, SHEN ZHEN SHI JIA CAI LI KE JI YOU XIAN GONG SI, SHEN ZHEN SHI TAI SEN AO KE JI YOU XIAN GONG SI, SHENZHEN DONGHONGZE TRADING CO., LTD., SHENZHENSHILAIBOKEJIYOUXIANGONGSI, SHENZHENSHIMAOHONGSHENGKEJIYOUXIANGONGSI, SHENZHENSHIPENGLINGZHICHUANGKEJIYOUXIANGONGSI, SHENZHENSHIWEIDONGZHIXINKEJIYOUXIANGONGSI, TRIPLE A INTERNATIONAL TRADING INC, ZHAOTONGQIANHENGSHANGMAOYOUXIANGONGSI and Defendant Xebec, Inc (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit 1 Amazon Patent Evaluation Express Agreement)(Wang, Wei) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 5/27/2025.] (Entered: 03/07/2025)-
Feb 25, 2025MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: In this case, initiated 10/15/23, twelve named plaintiffs sue a defendant claiming that defendant's patent is invalid. See 55 . Nine of the plaintiffs are Chinese companies and the other three are California corporations; they all sell products on Amazon. Id. 2-13. The Defendant is "an entity operated in the state of Texas." Id. 15. Based upon the Court's review of the operative complaint, it appears that none of the parties to this lawsuit has any connection to Illinois or this district. Plaintiffs sue based upon Defendant's initiation of complaints on Amazon and initiation of APEX proceedings, which did not proceed. Id. 27-29. Amazon paused the APEX proceeding and none of Plaintiffs' products has been de-listed. Id. 28-29. Although Defendant has answered, and does not challenge personal jurisdiction, venue must nonetheless be proper here, and it appears that venue has never been proper here. 28 U.S.C. § 1391 provides that venue lies in "a judicial district in which any defendant resides, if all defendants are residents of the State in which the district is located"; in "a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is situated"; or "if there is no district in which an action may otherwise be brought as provided in this section, any judicial district in which any defendant is subject to the court's personal jurisdiction with respect to such action." Defendant is not a resident of this district; nor does the complaint suggest that any of the events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiffs' claims occurred here. As a result, it appears that venue is not, and has never been, proper here. Before the Court will consider the current motions, 78 , 79 , 81 , the parties must therefore meet and confer and file a joint statement by 3/7/25 explaining why venue is proper here and why this case should not be dismissed for improper venue (or possibly transferred to a proper venue). Defendant's motion for leave to file an amended responsive pleading 78 , Plaintiffs' motion to extend time 79 , and Defendant's motion for leave to file an amended responsive pleading 81 are denied without prejudice and the 2/26/25 Notice of Motion date is stricken as to all motions. Mailed notice. (evw, ) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 5/27/2025.] (Entered: 02/25/2025)MINUTE

Oct 18, 2023MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case has been assigned to the calendar of the Honorable John Robert Blakey. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. In addition, the parties must file a status report no later than 11/30/2023, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Failure by any party to file the status report by the requisite deadline (either jointly or, if necessary, individually with an explanation as to why a joint report could not be filed) may result in a summary dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute, or an entry of default against any served defendant(s) failing to comply with this order. During the litigation, the attorneys must also appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, at [email protected]. If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court.
