Exhibit 4 to the Complaint

MOTION by Plaintiff Celine SA to seal Schedule A, Exhibit 2 to the Declaration of Nicolas Lambert, and Plaintiffs Memorandum Establishing That Joinder Is Proper

MOTION by Plaintiff Celine SAfor electronic service of process.

MOTION by Plaintiff Celine SA for temporary restraining order

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Telephonic motion hearing held. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [8] is granted. Schedule A [9], Exhibit 2 to the Declaration of Nicolas Lambert [11], and Plaintiff's joinder memorandum [12] shall remain sealed until further court order. Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process [13] and ex parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order [14] are granted. Plaintiff's written submissions establish that if defendants were informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, assets would likely be redirected, defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping the infringement, and obtaining an accounting. The Court finds that (1) the submitted evidence establishes a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois); (2) the harm to plaintiff is irreparable and cannot be fully compensated by money damages; (3) an injunction is in the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods and infringement interferes with Plaintiff's ability to control its intellectual property; and (4) there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with these online marketplace defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and implement the asset freeze. If any defendant were to appear and object, the Court will revisit the asset freeze, joinder, and personal jurisdiction. A $5,000 bond is sufficient to secure the injunctive relief. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Mailed notice.

SURETY BOND in the amount of $ 5,000 posted by Celine SA. Document not imaged.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction 25 is taken under advisement. Any objections to the motion are due by 7/18/25. If no objection is filed by that date, the motion will be considered unopposed. Plaintiff must serve a copy of this minute order upon all remaining defendants within one business day of its entry upon the docket and promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders initially entering the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-845 (7th Cir. 2012). The motion hearing set for 7/17/25 26 is stricken. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Telephonic motion hearing held. Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction [25], which the Court now considers unopposed because no Defendant filed a notice of objection by the 7/18/25 deadline. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk that Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court on the record and in connection with entry of the TRO [20] [21], the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established [29] that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter Preliminary Injunction Order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Amended Schedule A [9] are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously sealed documents. Mailed notice (gel,)
