6.26 Ark. Code R. 51-702 - De Minimis Activities

De minimis activities are those activities that, when taken together, establish only a trivial or minor connection with Arkansas. An activity conducted within Arkansas on a regular or systematic basis or pursuant to a company policy, whether such policy is in writing or not, will not be considered trivial. Whether or not an activity establishes a trivial or nontrivial connection with Arkansas is to be measured on both a qualitative and quantitative basis. If such activity either qualitatively or quantitatively creates a nontrivial connection with Arkansas, then such activity exceeds the protection of 15 U.S.C. § 381. Establishing that the disqualifying activities account for only a relatively small part of the business conducted within Arkansas or that the economic importance of such activities is minimal will not be determinative of whether a "de minimis" level of activity exists.
