Pervasive Software, Inc. v. Lexware GMBH & Co. KG, No. 11-50097 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, Pervasive Software Inc., a Delaware corporation having its principal office in Austin, Texas, sued Defendant, Lexware GmbH & Co. Kg, a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, for damages and injunctive relief on the basis of breach of contract, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, and conversion in a Texas state court. Lexware removed the case to the federal district court, and that court, in response to Lexware's motion, dismissed the case for lack of personal jurisdiction over Lexware. Pervasive appealed. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, concluding that Pervasive had failed to establish a prima facie case that Lexware minimum contacts with Texas to support the exercise of either specific or general personal jurisdiction over Lexware.
