Quik Results, Inc., a Maine corporation, makes and sells Power Up!, a weight-gain and muscle-building supplement. Orin, a citizen of New York, sees an ad for Power Up! in WorkOut magazine and buys it in New York City at a local health club. Within ten days of beginning to use Power Up!, Orin suffers internal injuries. Alleging that the injuries are caused by Power Up!, Orin files a suit against Quik in a New York state court. Quik asks the court to dismiss the suit on the ground that it does not have personal jurisdiction over Quik. What is the court most likely to rule and why?
What will be an ideal response?
The court will most likely refuse to dismiss the suit and allow the action to proceed, because Quik (the defendant) advertised and sold its product Power Up! in New York to New York residents and thus subjected itself to being sued in New York. In other words, because Quik purposefully availed itself of the privilege of conducting business in New York, it had sufficient minimum contacts with the state for a New York state court to exercise jurisdiction over Quik.
