United States Fifth Circuit

A U.K. defendant's contacts, including USPTO filings and operation of a web site, were not sufficient to establish personal jurisdiction in a trademark infringement action. Disallowance of 1) an amendment to a pretrial order and 2) a claim for an accounting of defendants' profits, were not abuse of discretion.
