Rule
Specific jurisdiction exists when a defendant’s contacts with the forum state relate to the plaintiff’s claims; strict causation is not required — a strong enough connection between the contacts and the suit suffices.
Significance
Broadened specific jurisdiction beyond strict but-for causation; a defendant’s market activities in a state can support jurisdiction over claims arising from products sold elsewhere.
