Bayer Corporation et al. as a case to watch. According to the article, Bayer Corp. and 160 non-Illinois residents will argue in the Illinois Supreme Court over whether state courts have specific personal jurisdiction over consumer claims that Bayer defectively manufactured and misleadingly marketed its Essure contraceptive device.
