What is the exact question you are asking?
Answer:
Yes, because there is a connection to American commerce.
Explanation:
Hallat used the intellectual property of Trader Joe (a Washington-based grocery store) to sell plagiarized products in Canada. Intellectual property refers to the protection of the creations of the mind: inventions, general artistic works, academic production and symbols, names or images used in commerce. Since Trader Joe is a part of Washington trade and has learned of theft of its intellectual property to make plagiarized products overseas, which may tarnish its company name, Trader Joe may decide to sue Hallat in the Washington State courts, since there is a connection to the American trade.
Because he did not belive in God.
