: Arkansas Business Litigation BlogFirst-Filed Rule Keeps Interesting Intellectual Property Case in Arkansas
By H. William Allen et al.
The Eastern District of Arkansas denied a motion to dismiss or transfer in Agri-Process Innovations, Inc. v. Greenline Industries, LLC, 2008 WL 4126909 (E.D. Ark. 9/4/08).
Agri-Process Innovations (API) designs and sells biodiesel plants. They worked on several projects with Greenline Industries, but after a falling out, API filed a lawsuit in Arkansas state court. Greenline responded by filing suit in California for trade secret misappropriation, false advertising, and declaration to establish copyright ownership.
The California court deferred to the Eastern District of Arkansas to determine which court is the appropriate form. Judge Miller found no red flags to depart from the first-filed rule, and the dispute will proceed in Arkansas.
