Joel Farley · Answer 1

This would likely be a case heard in Federal court due to the diversity of the parties, that is, the fact that a company from New Hampshire is suing a company from Ohio.

From there, a determination would need to be made whether the case is heard in Ohio, New Hampshire, or any other state that the company might be incorporated in.
