The Seventh Circuit's decision The Seventh Circuit reversed, holding that the district court had erred in both steps of the analysis. Proof of existence of arbitration agreements: First, the Seventh Circuit held that the district court had erred in concluding that the claimants had satisfied their obligation of proving the existence of arbitration agreements with Samsung. The court noted that under the "summary judgment standard" applicable to motions to compel arbitration, the claimants had an initial "burden of producing a valid arbitration agreement with Samsung."
