The picture was included in a book published by CLB, a British company. CLB sold the rights to the picture to Lintas, a French ad agency, which was working for RJR France. Noonan sued the French ad agency and the tobacco company. Does a U.S. federal court have jurisdiction over this matter? Noonan v. Winston, 135 F.3d 85 (1st Cir. 1998).
