The case is to be remanded If, before final judgment, it appears that the district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.

J. Gonzalez finds the court lacks jurisdiction over a product supplier’s declaratory relief, tortious interference and unfair competition claims brought against the Chinese patent holder of a disputed towel warmer product sold on Amazon and dismisses those claims. As well, while the court may exercise jurisdiction over the rival supplier’s CEO under an agency theory, doing so would violate his due process rights because he has no presence in the state of New York. Its claims against the rival supplier, however, survive.
Court: USDC Eastern District of New York, Judge: Gonzalez, Filed On: June 23, 2023, Case #: 1:22cv6943, NOS: Patent - Property Rights, Categories: patent, jurisdiction
