Although Mallory does not have transnational facts, the Supreme Court's decision is likely to have major implications for personal jurisdiction in transnational cases. The Court will have to decide whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment precludes states from requiring corporations to consent to general jurisdiction through corporate registration statutes in order to do business within the state.

The Court's 2014 decision in Daimler A.G. v. Bauman largely eliminated general jurisdiction over foreign corporations in U.S. courts. Corporate registration statutes, however, may provide plaintiffs with an alternative basis for jurisdiction. With its grant in Mallory, the Supreme Court seems poised to limit the extent to which states can require foreign corporations to consent to jurisdiction as a condition of doing business in the state.
