Miller Yacht Sales, Inc. v. Smith
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
Decided September 20, 2004No. 02-3304PublishedCited by 622 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
NYGAARD, Circuit Judge.
The District Court dismissed Miller Yacht Sales’ suit for trade-dress infringement, statutory and common law unfair competition, and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, because it concluded that it lacked personal jurisdiction over Appellees. Because we conclude that Appellees have sufficient contacts with New Jersey, we will reverse.
I
To defeat Appellee’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, Miller Yacht was required to present a prima facie case that jurisdiction existed. Mellon Bank (East) PSFS Nat’l Ass’n v. Farino, 960 F.2d…
