After demonstrating the lack of connection between our client and the forum state, the court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Trademark infringement claims: We were retained by a food products importer to defend trademark infringement claims brought against it by a major competitor. By citing to a little-known and rarely used section of the trademark examiner’s handbook, we successfully argued that the competitor’s mark was unenforceable, resulting in dismissal of all federal infringement claims.
