Question

The domain name aol.org was registered by Korea DNS, a south Korean entity, on Setpember 3, 2001, and subsequently transferred first to an individual, Sujin Jeon, and thereafter to an individual listed simply as "Will E." Here in the United States, the domain name AOL.COM is registered to its parent company and owner, Time Warner/AOL. The name has been held since 1996. On July 30, 2002, American Online, the original holder of registered U.S. trademarks for AOL and AOL.COM filed suit against the Korean company and invididuals for infringement and violation of the Anticybersquatting Act. The Korean defendants filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that the federal district court in Virginia, where AOL had filed suit and where its company headquarters are situated, did not have in personam jurisdiction over aol.org because it had no presense in the U.S. Should the motion to dismiss be granted?
