Arkansas Trademark Infringement Case Dismissed for Lack of Jurisdiction
The Western District of Arkansas dismissed a trademark case for lack of jurisdiction in Flexible Staffing Services, Inc. v. Integro Employment Services, Inc., 2008 WL 1928827 (W.D. Ark. 4/29/08) (previously posted 1/23/08). Integro filed an Arkansas state trademark case against one of FSS's affiliates in Northwest Arkansas.
