Tostrud grants motions to dismiss brought by two of the three defendant chemical manufacturers in a competitor's suit alleging that they misappropriated confidential information and trade secrets related to bovine teat-dip products which were made available to them under a license agreement with the competitor's predecessor. Neither of the two manufacturers has sufficient contacts with Minnesota to justify the exercise of personal jurisdiction, and the competitor has not established that their alleged misappropriations were "uniquely or expressly aimed" at Minnesota. The competitor's request for jurisdictional discovery and an opportunity to supplement the record as to jurisdictional issues is denied, as is its motion to redact the transcript of a hearing on these motions.
