Abstract

As emerging markets play a bigger role in the global economy, and corporate entities located in them continue to avail themselves of US markets, when and how such entities become subject to personal jurisdiction in US Courts for alleged patent infringement is a matter of increasing concern. In Nuance Communications, Inc. v Abbyy Software House, et al., the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit laid out in great detail how two of the defendants (Abbyy Software, a Republic of Cyprus corporation, and Russian Federation Abbyy Production) were improperly dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction and improper service of process outside the Hague Convention by the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
