Schedule A filings against e-commerce sellers as violating due process. But are

Eric Goldman, a law professor at Santa Clara University, has been tracking
trademark litigation on e-commerce sites such as Amazon and Wish for some time.
About a decade ago, he began noticing that certain plaintiffs firms in the
Northern District of Illinois were bringing intellectual property lawsuits
against e-commerce sellers in bulk.
Many copied and pasted hundreds of complaints at one time against unnamed
defendants and leveraged ex parte temporary restraining orders, along with weak
spots in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to extract settlements from online
sellers.
