Schedule A litigation.
Dozens of infringers. One action.

How we do it

Schedule A allows a brand owner to file a single court action against a John Doe schedule of anonymous infringers — typically hundreds of Amazon or eBay sellers — and obtain emergency orders that freeze their payment accounts before they know the case has been filed. It is one of the most effective tools in brand protection when used correctly.

Preparing
01
Infringer Identification
We identify and catalogue infringing sellers across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Shopify and other platforms. Each seller is documented with purchasing evidence, listing history and payment account data.
02
Schedule Preparation
We compile the full defendant schedule — including seller IDs, listing URLs, revenue estimates and evidence — in the format required by US District Courts.
03
Emergency TRO & Asset Freeze
Upon filing, we seek a Temporary Restraining Order and asset freeze. Courts regularly grant these ex parte within 24-48 hours, preventing sellers from withdrawing funds.
04
Settlement & Recovery
Most defendants settle once their assets are frozen. Settlement funds are returned to you. Holdouts proceed to default judgment and permanent injunction.
What we cover

Full scope of service

Mass Defendant Schedules
We prepare schedules of 20 to 500+ defendants in a single filing — far more efficient and cost-effective than pursuing each seller individually.
Asset Freeze Orders
Emergency court orders freeze seller payment accounts — including PayPal, Stripe and marketplace seller balances — before infringers can withdraw funds.
Ex Parte Proceedings
Courts grant Schedule A TROs ex parte — without notifying defendants — preserving the element of surprise that makes asset freezes effective.
Settlement Management
We manage the full settlement process — communications, payment collection, release agreements — and distribute recovered funds to you promptly.
Jurisdiction & Platform Reach
US District Courts have authority over marketplace sellers globally where those sellers ship to or operate in US markets — which includes most major e-commerce platforms.
In-House Counsel Support
We work directly with your in-house IP counsel to coordinate filings, manage discovery and support any appeals or enforcement proceedings.
Who we work with

Industries we serve

Consumer Goods
High-volume marketplace sellers
FMCG brands face hundreds of counterfeit sellers simultaneously. Schedule A is the only tool that addresses this scale efficiently.
Fashion & Apparel
Anonymous Asian marketplace sellers
The fashion sector faces the highest concentration of anonymous seller networks on Amazon and Walmart. Schedule A is the optimal response.
Toys & Collectibles
Licensed merchandise counterfeiting
Counterfeit toys and licensed merchandise are endemic on major marketplaces. We have run successful Schedule A campaigns for major licensors.
Electronics
Hardware and accessory cloning
Electronic accessories and hardware face constant cloning from anonymous marketplace sellers. Schedule A allows us to pursue the entire network simultaneously.
