Cox v. HP Inc.

Summary

The court held that Oregon could not exercise specific personal jurisdiction over TÜV in HP's contribution claim arising from the certification of a hydrogen generator in Connecticut. Although TÜV purposefully conducted some business activities in Oregon, those activities were not sufficiently related to the claim to make suit in Oregon reasonably foreseeable or consistent with fair play and substantial justice. The court therefore ordered the trial court to dismiss HP's claim against TÜV.
