   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1917
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Trademarks. The Lanham Act does not authorize nationwide personal jurisdiction, so the existence of personal jurisdiction in this case depends on Missouri's long-arm statute and the federal Due Process Clause; under Missouri law, plaintiff sufficiently alleged that defendant had transacted business in the state and had committed a tortious act within the state, thereby satisfying Missouri's long-arm statute; turning to the due process analysis, defendant's contact with Missouri was limited to a single t-shirt sale and this was not a sufficient basis on which to exercise personal jurisdiction, as defendant could not reasonably anticipate being haled into court in Missouri based on a single sale; the dismissal of the suit is affirmed.
