Text: ¶ 1 This case presents us with the opportunity to review and apply the United States Supreme Court‘s recent cases on both specific and general personal jurisdiction. The question is whether CLEARONE v. REVOLABS Opinion of the Court Revolabs, a corporation incorporated in Delaware with its principal place of business in Massachusetts, is subject to either specific or general personal jurisdiction in Utah. The underlying dispute arose when Revolabs allegedly interfered with ClearOne‘s contractual relationship with Timothy Mackie by recruiting and hiring him while he was still employed by ClearOne. ClearOne brought suit against Revolabs, asserting claims of intentional interference with a contractual relationship, predatory hiring, and aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. The trial court granted Revolabs‘s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, which ruling ClearOne now appeals. After a review of the United States Supreme Court‘s personal jurisdiction jurisprudence, we conclude that Revolabs has insufficient contacts with Utah to subject it to jurisdiction here and affirm.
