SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

Plaintiffs Estée Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. and Make-Up Art Cosmetics Inc. (together, “Estée 

Lauder” or “Plaintiffs”) filed an Ex Parte Motion for Entry of a Temporary Restraining Order 

alleging infringements of Plaintiff’s Trademarks by counterfeiters. Specifiically, Plaintiffs allege 

that the defendants identified in Schedule A ( the “Defendants”), and using the seller aliases 

identified in Schedule A (the “Seller Aliases”), offer to sell, and do sell, counterfeit MAC 

products on various websites and third-party platforms. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants are 

not authorized to use the MAC Trademarks and that Plaintiffs have suffered injury through this 

unauthorized use. Plaintiffs support their motion with declarations and the accompanying 

exhibits. This Court having read the evidence before it hereby GRANTS Estée Lauder’s Ex 

Parte Motion of a Temporary Restraining Order against the Defendants listed in the attached 

Schedule A. 

The Court further finds that, without adversarial presentation, it has personal jurisdiction 

over the Defendants because they directly target their business activities toward consumers in the 

United States, including consumers in Illinois. Specifically, Plaintiffs have provided some basis 

Case: 1:20-cv-03738 Document #: 28 Filed: 07/17/20 Page 1 of 13 PageID #:2648
2

to conclude that Defendants may have targeted sales to Illinois residents by setting up and 

operating e-commerce stores that target United States consumers using one or more Seller 

Aliases, offer shipping to the United States, including Illinois, accept payment in U.S. dollars 

and, on information and belief, have sold products using infringing and counterfeit versions of 

Plaintiffs’ federally registered trademarks (the “MAC Trademarks”) to residents of Illinois. A 

list of the MAC Trademarks is included in the below chart.

The Court also finds that issuing this Order without notice pursuant to Rule 65(b)(1) of 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is appropriate because Estée Lauder has made a prima facie

showing that satisfies the requirements of an ex parte Temporary Restraining Order. 

Specifically, the facts in the Declaration of Gregg Marrazzo [14], paragraphs 19-24, and the 

Declaration of Justin R. Gaudio [13], paragraphs 5-7, and accompanying evidence show that 

immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the movant before the adverse 

party can be heard in opposition. In the absence of an ex parte order, Defendants could and 

likely would move any assets from accounts in financial institutions under this Court’s 

jurisdiction to offshore accounts. As other courts have recognized, proceedings against those 

who deliberately traffic in counterfeit merchandise are often useless if notice is given to the 

adverse party. 

The Court orders as follows:

1. Defendants, their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other 

persons in active concert or participation with them are temporarily restrained from:

a. using the MAC Trademarks or any reproductions, counterfeit copies or 

colorable imitations thereof in any manner in connection with the distribution, 

marketing, advertising, offering for sale, or sale of any product that is not a 

genuine MAC product or not authorized by Estée Lauder to be sold in connection 

with the MAC Trademarks;

b. passing off, inducing, or enabling others to sell or pass off any product as 

a genuine MAC product or any other product produced by Estée Lauder, that is

not Estée Lauder’s or not produced under the authorization, control or supervision 

Case: 1:20-cv-03738 Document #: 28 Filed: 07/17/20 Page 4 of 13 PageID #:2651
5

of Estée Lauder and approved by Estée Lauder for sale under the MAC 

Trademarks;

c. committing any acts calculated to cause consumers to believe that 

Defendants’ products are those sold under the authorization, control or 

supervision of Estée Lauder, or are sponsored by, approved by, or otherwise 

connected with Estée Lauder;

d. further infringing the MAC Trademarks and damaging Estée Lauder’s

goodwill; and

e. shipping, delivering, holding for sale, transferring or otherwise moving, 

storing, distributing, returning, or otherwise disposing of, in any manner, products 

or inventory not manufactured by or for Estée Lauder, nor authorized by Estée 

Lauder to be sold or offered for sale, and which bear any of Estée Lauder’s 

trademarks, including the MAC Trademarks, or any reproductions, counterfeit 

copies or colorable imitations thereof.

2. Defendants shall provide to Estée Lauder copies of all documents and records in 

such person’s or entity’s possession or control relating to:

a. the identities and locations of Defendants, including all known contact 

information and any and all associated e-mail addresses; and

b. the nature of Defendants’ operations and all associated sales, methods of 

payment for services and financial information, including, without limitation, 

identifying information associated with the Online Marketplaces and Defendants’ 

financial accounts, as well as providing a full accounting of Defendants’ sales and 

listing history related to their respective Online Marketplaces.

3. Any third party with actual notice of this Order who is providing services for any 

of the Defendants, including, but not limited to, any online marketplace platforms such as eBay, 

Inc. (“eBay”), AliExpress, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (“Alibaba”), Amazon.com, Inc., and 

ContextLogic, Inc. d/b/a Wish.com (“Wish.com”) (collectively, the “Third Party Providers”)

shall, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such notice, provide to Estée Lauder 

expedited discovery, including copies of documents and records in such person’s or entity’s 

possession or control relating to:

a. the identities and locations of Defendants, including all known contact 

information and all associated e-mail addresses; and

b. the nature of Defendants’ operations and all associated methods of 

payment for services and financial information, including (if requested) a 

summary of Defendants’ sales and listing history related to their respective Online 

Marketplaces; and

c. any financial accounts owned or controlled by Defendants, including their 

agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and any persons acting in concert or 

participation with them, including such accounts residing with or under the 

control of PayPal, Inc. (“PayPal”), Alipay, Wish.com, Alibaba, Ant Financial 

Services Group (“Ant Financial”), and Amazon Pay.

Plaintiffs shall work cooperatively with the Third Party Providers and make reasonable efforts to 

ease the burdens imposed by their request for expedited discovery. 

4. Defendants shall be temporarily restrained from transferring or disposing of any 

money or other of Defendants’ assets until further ordered by this Court. 

Case: 1:20-cv-03738 Document #: 28 Filed: 07/17/20 Page 6 of 13 PageID #:2653

5. PayPal, Alipay, Alibaba, Ant Financial, Wish.com, and Amazon Pay shall, within 

five (5) business days of receipt of this Order:

a. locate all accounts and funds connected to Defendants’ Seller Aliases and 

Online Marketplaces, including, but not limited to, any financial accounts 

connected to the information listed in Schedule A, the e-mail addresses identified 

in Exhibit 3 to the Declaration of Gregg Marrazzo, and any e-mail addresses 

provided for Defendants by third parties; and 

b. prevent any such accounts or funds from transferring or disposing of any 

money or other of Defendants’ assets until further ordered by this Court. 

6. Estée Lauder may provide notice of these proceedings to Defendants, including 

notice of the preliminary injunction hearing, service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.

4(f)(3), and any future motions, by electronically publishing a link to the Amended Complaint,

the Summons, this Order, all of Plaintiffs’ filings related to any future motion for preliminary 

injunction and other relevant documents on a website. Defendants will also provide notice by 

sending an e-mail to the e-mail addresses identified in Exhibit 3 to the Declaration of Gregg 

Marrazzo and any e-mail addresses provided for Defendants by third parties that includes a link 

to said website. The Court directs the Clerk of the Court to issue a single original summons in 

the name of “CHINESE QUALITY STORE and all other Defendants identified in the Amended 

Complaint” that shall apply to all Defendants. The combination of providing notice via 

electronic publication and e-mail, along with any notice that Defendants receive from payment 

processors, shall constitute notice reasonably calculated under all circumstances to apprise 

Defendants of the pendency of the action and afford them the opportunity to present their 

objections.

CM/ECF system when they file their motion for preliminary injunction.

8. Estée Lauder shall deposit with the Court one hundred twenty-six thousand 

dollars ($126,000.00) (that is, $10,000 per Defendant), either cash, cashier’s check or surety 

bond, as security, which amount was determined adequate for the payment of such damages as 

any person may be entitled to recover as a result of a wrongful restraint hereunder, such bond to 

be deposited with the Court once in-person civil case hearings resume.

9. Any Defendants that are subject to this Order may appear and move to dissolve or 

modify the Order as permitted by and in compliance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
