November 20, 2008, a recent lawsuit filed in the New York State Supreme Court by perfume manufacturer, Revelations, against the music artist known as Prince and Universal Music Publishing Group. The legal action documents filed in court say Revelations, the maker of 3121 fragrance named for Prince’s 2006 album, has brought a breach of contract litigation against Prince and Universal Music Publishing Group for $ 100,000. The music artist and music publishing company are being sued for failing to help promote Revelations perfume as outlined in their licensing contract. Prince and his music publisher, Universal Music Publishing Group, had a licensing agreement with the perfume company in December 2006, to use Prince’s name and likeness with the name “3121″ to market two fragrance products

You do not provide sufficient details to answer this question. What were the specific terms of the contract (how long, what ways, obligations of both parties, exchange for goods, ect.)? Was there an arbitration clause? What law is this contract ruled by? Where is the place of business for both parties? Can there be a motion to dismiss via forum non?
I am guessing that is part of a law school prompt/memo assignment.
