    Summary: Munich Local Division held that steps already taken to bring a request for preliminary injunction to defendant's attention constituted good service under R.275.2 RoP, after service via Chinese authorities had failed or been seriously delayed for more than six months. The order established service rules when Hague Convention service fails.
