Counter-notices must consent to a U.S. federal court and accept service from the complainant

A counter-notice must include a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District court in the judicial district where your address is located if it is in the United States, or of the court located in the Northern District of California (Santa Clara County) if your address is outside the United States. It must also state that you will accept service of process from the complainant who submitted the notice or their authorized agent. In practice, a counter-notice means agreeing that the complainant can sue you over the dispute in that U.S. federal court.
