<div>I say yes. They are providing services under the alleged infringing mark in the US. Why wouldn\u2019t they be subject to jurisdiction in the US?</div>

<div>Need input from French counsel on that. I am aware of case law that allows a US federal court to adjudicate copyright infringement claims arising under Canadian law.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>By the way, if anyone has an Office Action response that says situation like this \u2014\u2014 CLOUD SECURES does not infringe trademark on CLOUD\u2014- would appreciate a serial number I could look up.</div>
