Case summary: A company WH, based in the People’s Republic of China, operates through multiple websites. It has been continuously engaging itself in the selling of counterfeit products of company G through its websites. Evidence has been furnished, proving that the company has entered into a contract with a resident of San Jose, California, hence establishing the necessary requirement of minimum contact.

To Find: The relevancy of referring to G’s principal place of business as New York rather than California while determining the question of jurisdiction.
