Pоpulаr Gаmes, Inc. (PGI) mаnufactures gaming machines fоr use in casinоs. PGI has obtained a patent on one of its machines, giving PGI the exclusive right to make, use, license, and sell the machine for the next twenty years. PGI believes that Donaldson (D), a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, is infringing on the patent by licensing PGI’s gaming machine without the company’s permission. PGI can prove that D appeared at a trade show in Shreveport, Louisiana, displayed the machine at the trade show, and negotiated a licensing agreement for a casino there to use the machine. PGI has filed a lawsuit against D in a state trial court in Louisiana, seeking ninety thousand dollars from D for infringing on PGI’s patent. PGI was incorporated in Nevada and maintains its headquarters in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. If D files a motion to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction, D’s motion probably will be granted.
