Maxchief Investments Limited v. Wok & Pan, Ind., Inc., No. 18-1121 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 29, 2018)

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.

Maxchief Investments Limited (“Maxchief”) appeals from the judgment of the District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The district court dismissed Maxchief’s declaratory judgment action against Wok & Pan, Ind., Inc. (“Wok”) for lack of personal jurisdiction and dismissed Maxchief’s tortious interference claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because Wok lacked sufficient contacts with the forum state of Tennessee for personal jurisdiction as to both the declaratory judgment claim and the tortious interference claim, we affirm.
