That's absolutely false. Microsoft explicitly asked the court to allow them to file the entire case under seal, and to obtain ex parte emergency relief without notifying the defendants.

The TRO states: “...good cause and the interest of justice require that this Order be Granted without prior notice to Defendants, and accordingly, Microsoft is relieved of the duty to provide Defendants with prior notice of Microsoft’s motion.”

The judge signed that. No-IP did not receive any advance warning or service by Microsoft's own admission, and No-IP's blog post confirms they weren't served until today.
