In question, what type of jurisdiction is being challenged?
Question
Centurion Wireless, Inc., is a Nebraska corporation that designs and engineers antennas for cell phones. Hop-On is a Nevada corporation, selling disposable cell phones. Hop-On and Centurion entered into a contract under which Centurion agreed to design, develop, and integrate an antenna design for Hop- On and to provide up to 100 prototype antennae. Centurion also agreed not to sell the antenna design to any other cell phone manufacturers.
Centurion completed its work and made offers to manufacture up to 3 million antennas, but Hop- On declined. Hop-On then offered to buy the design, but the parties could not agree on a price.
Centurion learned that Hop-On had copied and used the antenna design in its phones. Hop-On's phones with the Centurion antenna design were sold at Walgreens stores in California. Hop-On operates a website at Hop-On.com, which provides some information about phones and contact information.
