On October 23, 2025, WLF urged the Supreme Court to review a California state court’s decision to exercise personal jurisdiction over Audi AG in a products-liability case. According to the court, when Audi—a German company with no relevant contacts in California—placed a product in the “stream of commerce,” it opened the door to suit in California. WLF asks the Court to grant review, eliminate the “stream of commerce” rationale for jurisdiction, and limit case-linked jurisdiction to cases where a company “knowingly causes” the distribution of a product to a forum State.
