Description

Dainippon Screen Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and DNS Electronics, LLC (collectively "dainippon") appeal from the final decision of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California dismissing its declaratory judgment action against CFM Technologies, Inc. (CFM) and CFMT, Inc. (CFMT) (collectively "defendants") for lack of personal jurisdiction over CFMT, a necessary and indispensable party. See Dainippon Screen Mfg., Ltd. v. CFMT, Inc., No. C-97-20270-JW (N.D. Cal. Aug. 6, 1997). Because the court erred in concluding that it lacked personal jurisdiction over CFMT and in the alternative erred in concluding that CFMT was an indispensable party under Fed. R. Civ. P. 19(b), we reverse.
