How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• determining whether a subsid- iary was an indispensable party in a declaratory judg- ment action for invalidity and non-infringement
• analyzing whether asserting personal jurisdiction was “reasonable and fair” after 9 finding a subsidiary had sufficient contacts, on its own, with the forum state
• applying Rule 19 analysis to question of party indispensability in declaratory judgment action
• personal jurisdiction where patent holder had right but not obligation to take appropriate legal action in cases of possible infringement actions detected by licensee
• “The second factor, the court’s ability to shape relief to avoid prejudice, is of little relevance in the context of a patent declaratory judgment suit because the relief sought in such a suit does not depend upon the patentee’s presence in court.”
