You might want to check out the Volkswagen and Grey Hound cases in the US Supreme Court, Austin. If there are not "sufficient minimum contacts" between the forum state and the company, then you have to chase them to their home state. I do recognize that Leica has established the "minimum sufficient contacts" with your Commonwealth to be sued there. But your basic statement is a gross over-characterization of the current state of the law.
