INFOSPAN, INC.; INFOSPAN (GULF) INC., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. EMIRATES NBD BANK PJSC, Defendant-Appellant., 903 F.3d 896

HOLDINGS: [1]-The district court erred in finding that the bank waived its personal jurisdiction defense because it timely asserted personal jurisdiction as a defense and litigated the issue to a decision from the district court; nothing more was required to preserve the issue and subsequent litigation of defenses and counterclaims did not waive the bank's properly preserved defense of personal jurisdiction; [2]-The corporations did not meet their burden to identify sufficient facts to establish personal jurisdiction over the bank in California because there was no indication that the bank conducted any unilateral activities in California; there was no evidence that any minimum contacts with California formed the basis for the contract claims.
