After events connected to more than one state, one party asks the court to apply a rule that changes the outcome. An out-of-state company repeatedly sold services into the forum and the lawsuit arose from those sales.

One side seeks a ruling that would change legal rights or obligations; the other argues that timing, status, notice, jurisdiction, or remedy limits prevent that result.
