How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that internet purchase of one compact disc by plaintiffs counsel did not constitute purposeful availment
- finding that a website through which persons could purchase compact discs, request franchising information, and join a discount club was not basis for personal jurisdiction because no actions purposefully directed at forum
- noting that because “Oregon’s catch-all jurisdictional rule confers personal jurisdiction coextensive with due process . . . the analysis collapses into a single framework and the court proceeds under federal due process standards”
- noting that “courts generally have exercised jurisdiction in cases ... where the defendant ‘conducted business’ over the Internet by engaging in repeated or ongoing business transactions with forum residents or by entering into a contract with plaintiff through the Internet”
- holding interactive website did not create general jurisdiction
- no specific jurisdiction where only internet sale of allegedly infringing product in the forum was made to plaintiff's agent for litigation purposes
