This is notable because the #ScheduleA model really relies on asking the judge to trust you--to trust that you've done your research, to trust that you're bringing solid cases.

Deckers has also been filing a new type of case in the NDIL. In these cases, where they are represented by the leading #ScheduleA firm, they allege that their product-design trade dress is "inherently distinctive." 🤦

I really enjoy talking about #ScheduleA with smart people who aren't steeped in all of this. It's a good reminder that these maneuvers are not normal, no matter how routine they've become in the Dirksen Building.

I don't know the voices well enough to tell Prost from Stoll on audio. But Prost was also on the Jacki Easlick panel, so I'm guessing she's the one who asked about #ScheduleA.

Leading #ScheduleA plaintiff Deckers is filed a motion in limine seeking to excluse comments about "dupe culture" at trial. Now Corsearch (a Schedule A finder's firm) is doing a webinar about how "'dupe culture' has has completely normalized intellectual property theft among younger consumers." 🤔

Note also that to the limited extent there is a duty to police, it does not apply to patents and copyrights. Yes again, the #ScheduleA plaintiff bar is trying to paint non-trademark cases with a broad trademark brush.

The Counterfeit Sham
The Counterfeit Sham

There’s a new front in the IP rhetoric wars. Plaintiffs in “Schedule A” cases tell judges that they need to secretly seize the assets of hundreds of defendants

Just so we're clear, #ScheduleA isn't primarily an "anti-counterfeiting strategy." It's a money-making strategy.

Facing Scrutiny, 'Schedule A' Suits Grow Beyond Chicago - Law360

Federal lawsuits that target dozens or even hundreds of online sellers at once kept climbing in 2025 and spread beyond their Chicago stronghold, even as new data shows more friction for brand owners' mass anti-counterfeiting strategy.

New key question in #ScheduleA litigation: What does it mean for the address of the defendant to be "known"?
