Wyoming Statutes Title 40. Trade and Commerce § 40-13-108. Doing business defined; amenability to process; service on nonresidents

(a) All persons, groups, corporations, associations, foreign or domestic, subject to this act shall be deemed to be doing business within this state and amenable to the process of the courts of the state of Wyoming when:

(b) If such owners of copyrights comply with the provisions of this act they shall be granted the privilege of conducting business within this state in a legal manner, and may invoke the benefits of the state government and its political subdivisions in their behalf, using all of the privileges available to the citizens of this state. Use of such privileges shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the provisions of this act.

(c) The acceptance by such persons of the rights and privileges conferred by the law of this state to any of its citizens shall be deemed equivalent to and construed to be an appointment by such nonresidents of the secretary of state of the state of Wyoming to be their true and lawful attorney upon whom may be served all summons and processes growing out of a violation of this act. Service of such summons or process shall be made by leaving a copy with a fee of five dollars ($5.00) with the secretary of state of Wyoming, or in his office. Such service shall be sufficient and valid personal service upon any such nonresident defendant, copyright holder or owner, persons or defendants, combination, entity or organization. Notice of such service and a copy of the summons or process shall be forthwith sent by registered mail requiring personal delivery, by the prosecutor bringing any action under this chapter, to any defendant at his last known address, and the defendant's return receipt and the prosecutor's affidavit of compliance herewith are appended to the process and entered as a part of the return. The secretary of state shall keep a record of all such summons and process which shall show the day and time of service.
