Pergo, Inc. v. Alloc, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• finding that, because there was no nexus to New York, evidence of defendants’ sales in New York was “insufficient”
• “[Sjales alone are not enough to establish a material connection to the forum if, as is true here, defendant’s goods are sold in many states”
• argument that New York “provides a convenient hub for witnesses traveling from Europe” is “simply not [a] relevant factor[ ] to consider in weighing the convenience to the parties”
• “[T]he fact that two parties may manufacture or sell similar products, and that these sales or production may have infringed the identical patent owned by the plaintiffs is not sufficient to join unrelated parties as defendants in the same lawsuit pursuant to Rule 20(a).”
