LaMarca v. Pak-Mor Manufacturing Co

In LaMarca v. Pak-Mor Manufacturing Co., 95 NY2d 210 [2000] the Court of Appeals found that the operations of Pak-Mor, a Texas corporation with a manufacturing facility in Virginia, was not "of local character." Id, at 215. The Court based its ruling on the facts that Pak-Mor (1) not only advertised nationally, but also maintained a New York distributor and (2) had total sales revenue over 18 million, over half a million of which was derived solely from New York. The Court held that the sale figures alone demonstrated that the company in fact derived substantial revenue from interstate commerce.
