Goes International is a Swedish company that sells a bubble-shooting video game called

20

Bubble Bust! (First Amended Complaint – ECF No. 127, 2, 5–8, 29.)1 It sued Dodur Ltd. and its

21

shareholders/game developers for copyright infringement, claiming that they copied Bubble Bust!

22

and marketed infringing games called Puzzle Bubble Free! and Puzzle Bubble Sea! (Id. ¶¶ 1, 3,

23

12–15.) The defendants moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction; the court granted the

24

motion in part, dismissing the individual defendants but finding personal jurisdiction against

25

Dodur based on its distribution of games in the U.S., resulting in revenues generated from U.S.

26

players, including from ads targeted to that U.S. audience. (Order – ECF No. 51 at 19.)
