JJ McIntyre, the manufacturer of the machine that took Nicastro's fingers, calls you and asks for advice.  They have been sued by a California resident who works at another plant and just received a summons.  Evidently, JJ McIntyre decided to try to sell their machines to California companies, attending trade shows, doing mailings and email blasts to California companies.  They signed up a Los Angeles marketing company to work on this, and the VP Sales has been in California to see customers several times.  JJ McIntyre thinks that since they did not have an office in California, and since they won last time, they can ignore the summons.  

1. Should McIntyre ignore the summons? Why or why not?
2. Using the FIRAC method, how do you think a Court will hold in this case? Why?
