Rosenthal. There are plenty of things wrong with the Complaint, including the substance of Plaintiff's trademark claims. But what was most wrong about it was that it was filed here in Los Angeles, when Plaintiff knew that Chip lives in Austin, and has no meaningful ties to California. Yesterday, the Court entered its order dismissing the Complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. Chip has the Order up at http://save.unicom.com/docs/20020204-order.pdf. Obviously, we don't know yet if Plaintiff will appeal, drop the matter, refile in Austin or follow some other path, but getting the case out of the wrong court is, at the least, a very positive step. -Jim -------------------------------------------------------------------- James S.
