“Schedule A” cases are often filed in the Northern District of Illinois. These lawsuits target online retailers accused of selling counterfeit or infringing products. Plaintiffs bringing such suits will then request online marketplace platforms such as Amazon or eBay to lift asset restraints once settlements are reached.
When facing a Schedule A lawsuit, it is imperative to move quickly. The median time to injunctive relief is 11 days for a temporary restraining order, 42 days for a preliminary injunction order, and 105 days for a permanent injunction order.
