Nov. 6, 2024), held in part that the defendant’s act of serving a “preservation demand” on the plaintiff in the forum district did not confer long-arm jurisdiction over the serving-defendant in that forum. “Preservation notices” are routinely sent to a potential opposing party in order to trigger the common-law duty to preserve potentially responsive information by putting the recipient on notice that litigation should be anticipated.
