WATKINS, Senior District Judge.
In this suit for infringement of a federal copyright and for unfair competition, Defendant David & Dash, Inc. (hereinafter D&D) has moved to dismiss the complaint or quash service of process for lack of in personam jurisdiction and for improper venue. Additionally, D&D has moved for dismissal of Count II (unfair competition) on the ground that plaintiffs’ pursuit of that claim is barred by their failure to comply with state statutes regarding the qualification of foreign corporations to conduct intrastate business in Maryland.
