This is another case involving the question of personal jurisdiction over online sellers. #CivProMatters

Does the NBA Properties case mean that a single test buy is always sufficient to manufacture personal jurisdiction over an online seller in Illinois? Judge Blakey has been saying "no." E.g., XYZ Corp. v. Schedule A, No. 1:25-cv-13387 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 5, 2026), ECF 28. #CivProMatters

Personal jurisdiction in the 7th Circuit: In Liu v. Monthly, No. 25-02074, which will be argued today, the appellant argues that they were not subject to personal jurisdiction in the NDIL because they "did not sell or ship a single accused product to Illinois." #CivProMatters

This case is about personal jurisdiction in #ScheduleA cases. SAFE is trying to get the Seventh Circuit to expand its NBA rule and say that a mere offer to sell or ship to the forum is enough. #CivProMatters

Columbia University files a motion to dismiss the Columbia Sportswear case. While the news coverage I've seen so far focuses on the brief's nod to the merits (prior use by the university), the motion actually focuses on personal jurisdiction and venue: www.scribd.com/document/937... #CivProMatters
