United States Seventh Circuit
Mobile Anesthesiologists Chicago, LLC v. Anesthesia Assoc. of Houston Metroplex, P.A., 09-2658
READ
In plaintiff's suit claiming that defendant violated the federal anti-cybersquatting statute by registering a domain name confusingly similar to plaintiff's registered trademark, district court's dismissal of the suit for lack of personal jurisdiction is affirmed where: 1) defendant did not waive its personal jurisdiction defense by asking to delay a preliminary injunction hearing or by asking for expedited discovery to prepare for that hearing; and 2) defendant lacked the required "minimum contacts" with Illinois to support personal jurisdiction there, as defendant's contacts are not sufficient to establish that defendant's activities in Texas were calculated to cause harm in Illinois.
