From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Polar Electro Oy (“Polar”) appeals from the decision of the United States District Court for the District of Del a- ware granting Suunto Oy’s (“Suunto”) motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. See Polar Electro Oy v. Suunto Oy, No. 11 -1100, 2015 WL 2248439 (D. Del. May 12, 2015). Because the district court erred in determining that Suunto lacked sufficient minimum contacts wi th Delaware to support specific jurisdiction , we vacate and remand.
