Israeli manufacturer defeats Breach of Contract and Tortious Interference lawsuits
Categories: Dispute Resolution
Israeli electric scooter manufacturer Inokim and U.S. retailer Best Buy successfully defended against lawsuits filed by certain Inokim shareholders.
The plaintiffs alleged that Herrick clients Inokim, Best Buy, and co-defendant eBay breached a licensing agreement and engaged in tortious interference related to the distribution of Inokim’s electric scooters.
On October 7, the New York Supreme Court granted motions to dismiss all of the plaintiffs’ claims on each of the alternative grounds offered—including improper service, lack of personal jurisdiction over our Israeli clients and lack of standing.
