| Filing 84 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ORDER entered. Order of Dismissal. (Pacho, Arnold) |
| Filing 83 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting #59 Motion to Dismiss; finding as moot #82 Motion for Leave to File Document. At issue now is the forum selection clause in the AIT-MitraStar purchase agreement. The purchase agreement is the operative instrument in ZyXEL's theory of the case - AIT is allegedly Skyworks's agent, and ZyXEL stands in MitraStar's shoes as the assignee of its claims. Skyworks seeks dismissal under the forum selection clause of the purchase agreement.The court agrees with Skyworks that the contractually designated Taiwanese court is the proper forum for this dispute. Under ZyXEL's translation of the agreement, in Article 18 the signatories "agree[d] to use the Taiwan Hsinchu District Court as the court of first instance" if they "are involved in a lawsuit due to this Agreement." Dkt # 78 at 15. Skyworks's translation confirms this: "Should there be any dispute arising from this Contract, both parties agree that Taiwan HsinChu District Court shall be the competent court of first instance." Dkt # 81-3 at 18. Nothing about provision suggests that the choice of forum is permissive rather than mandatory.Article 17 of the purchase agreement provides that the contract shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the Republic of China. "[W]here a contract contains both a valid choice-of-law clause and a forum selection clause, the substantive law identified in the choice-of-law clause governs the interpretation of the forum selection clause, while federal law governs the enforceability of the forum selection clause." Martinez v. Bloomberg LP, 740 F.3d 211, 214 (2d Cir. 2014); see also Lambert v. Kysar, 983 F.2d 1110, 1118, n.11 (1st Cir. 1993) (applying Washington law to a forum selection clause in a contract governed by Washington law). Taiwan law recognizes and enforces forum selection clauses in a contract. See R.O.C. Code of Civ. Proc., Art. 24 ("Parties may, by agreement, designate a court of first instance to exercise jurisdiction, provided that such agreement relates to a particular legal relation. The agreement provided in the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced in writing."). Likewise, the action of an agent is attributed to the principal. See, e.g., id. Art. 358 ("A private document is presumed to be authentic if it is signed by the person in whose name the document is issued or by his/her agent.") (emphasis added). Further, R.O.C. Civ. Code Art. 299 provides that a debtor shall have against a transferee "all of the defenses he has against the transferor." Accordingly, Skyworks (as AIT's alleged principal) can assert the forum selection clause defense against ZyXEL as it could have against MitraStar. ZyXEL relies on a 2008 ruling by the Taiwan Supreme Court (Civil Appeal No. 110) for the proposition that a forum-selection clause of a contract does not extend to an assignee who is not a signatory of the contract. See Ex. 2 to Shu-Wei Lo Decl., Dkt # 78 at 26-30. There, the court ruled that the assignee of an insured's insurance contract may not assert the forum selection clause against the insurer. In so holding, the Court distinguished Art. 299. Paragraph 1 of 775 F.3d 41Article 299 of the Civil Code stipulates that: "When the debtor is notified, it will be able to confront the assignee for all the reasons it can confront the assignor." This provision is about the debtor's application for the right of defense against the assignee of the creditor's rights. This is different from this case where the re-appellant is the assignee of being assigned the creditor's rights of Jin-Her Enterprise, the opposite party is the debtor, and whether the assignee of the creditor's rights can claim the right of defense against the debtor.Id. at 29. Here, however, the roles are in in reverse - ZyXEL is the assignee and is not asserting the forum selection clause. Rather, Skyworks, as AIT's alleged principal, stands as a signatory to the purchase agreement and can assert the selection clause as the transferee of AIT's claim under the contract. Finally, ZyXEL has not established any of the four grounds to find the forum selection clause unreasonable and thus unenforceable. See Claudio-De Leon v. Sistema Universitario Ana G. Mendez, 775 F.3d 41, 48-49 (1st Cir. 2014). Accordingly, this case will be dismissed for improper forum. (Tang, Danni) |

| Filing 77 SUR-REPLY to Motion re #59 MOTION to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint filed by ZyXEL Communications, Inc.. (Curtin, Jason) |
| Filing 76 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying #74 Motion for Sanctions. Skyworks filed each of its second and third motions to dismiss in response to the addition of new allegations/count in the Complaint. Although the arguments presented in these motions were somewhat repetitive of those already resolved by the court, they do not rise to the level of frivolity necessitating sanctions. Further, Skyworks identified the issue of the forum selection clause in its third motion to dismiss, the early resolution of which will improve the efficiency in this litigation for the parties and the court.

| Filing 68 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. re #59 MOTION to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint filed by Skyworks Solutions, Inc. For the first time in its reply, Skyworks suggests that the contract(s) (or purchase orders) unpinning the dispute - between MitraStar and AIT for the allegedly defective components (under plaintiff's theory of the case, it stands in the position of MitraStar as assignee, and Skyworks stands in AIT's position as the allegedly principal) - contains a forum selection clause for any disputes to be resolved in the courts of Taiwan. The court has, as far as it can tell, not been provided with a copy of this/these documents. The parties are requested to submit these documents no later than 6/8/2020 so the court can evaluate the merit of Skyworks's forum contention. (Tang, Danni) |

| Filing 50 CORRECTED MEMORANDUM in Support re #49 MOTION to Amend filed by ZyXEL Communications, Inc.. (Curtin, Jason) Modified on 3/20/2020 (Jones, Sherry). |
| Filing 49 MOTION to Amend by ZyXEL Communications, Inc.. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit Exhibits 1 and 2 to Plaintiff's Motion to Amend, #2 Plaintiff's Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion to Amend)(Curtin, Jason) |
| Filing 48 Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying #36 Motion to Dismiss. Briefly, this case concerns an allegedly faulty power amplifier component (SE2605L-R) fabricated by Skyworks that, by way of a reseller (AIT) and a manufacturer (MitraStar), found its way into wireless routers sold by ZyXEL. In particular, ZyXEL (individually and on behalf of MitraStar) alleges that after Skyworks learned of the flaw and produced a corrected model, it withheld this information from MitraStar despite inquiries and continued to sell to MitraStar the old defective model, causing downstream harm to ZyXEL. The sole count asserted in ZyXEL's Amended Complaint is for the breach of implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. An implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose arises when, at the time of the contract, the seller "has reason to know any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods." The determination whether this warranty arises ordinarily is a question of fact. Fernandes v. Union Bookbinding Co., 400 Mass. 27, 33 (1987), quoting Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 106, s. 2-315. According to Skyworks, because ZyXEL admits that the purpose of the power amplifier is for "incorporation into, inter alia, wireless routers," Am. Compl. para. 6, and the power amplifiers were indeed incorporated into wireless routers, Id. para. 7, ZyXEL has not pled "a particular purpose" to sustain its claim. See Hannon v. Original Gunite Aquatech Pools, Inc., 385 Mass. 813, 821 (1982) ("Nothing in the record suggests that Hannon intended to put his pool to uses other than those customarily made of swimming pools."); Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 106, 2-315 cmt. 2 ("A 'particular purpose' differs from ordinary purpose for which the goods are used...."). For its part, ZyXEL notes that a more particularized purpose for an article may also constitute "a particular purpose." See Regina Grape Prod. Co. v. Supreme Wine Co., 357 Mass. 631, 634 (1970) (dry red wine for mixing with a sweet wine is a particular use); Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 106, s. 2-315 cmt. 2 ("For example, shoes are generally used for the purpose of walking upon ordinary ground, but a seller may know that a particular pair was selected to be used for climbing mountains."). Here, MitraStar provided a specific power output parameter to AIT (allegedly acting as Skyworks's agent), and AIT selected a Skyworks power amplifier that fit this parameter.[I]n August 2014 email communications, MitraStar requested AIT's assistance in selecting a suitable Skyworks power amplifier based on "Output power >25dBm." In response, AIT asked MitraStar for, inter alia, the particular "WIFI chipset P/N" for its router, which MitraStar described as "2.4G wifi, BCM63168." On receiving this information, AIT identified SE2605L as suitable for MitraStar's particular use.Am. Compl. para. 40. On this record, the court is unable to determine whether MitraStar's requirements varied from the ordinary use of the SE2605L-R component. Although Skyworks notes that 2.4G is one of the two most common wireless frequencies, it says nothing about the 25 dBM power output threshold. Accordingly, the motion to dismiss will be DENIED.Recognizing that the particular purpose element may be dispositive of ZyXEL's Amended Complaint, in the interest of efficiency and economy, the court directs the parties to engage in targeted discovery concerning the ordinary use of the SE2605L-R and whether MitraStar's requirements fell within that ordinary use. The parties are to file partial summary judgment motions on this issue no later than 6/24/2020, with oppositions due 7/15/2020. SO ORDERED. (Tang, Danni) |
