OPINION
M. SMITH, Circuit Judge:The district court has certified to us pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) “the question whether the application of California antitrust law to claims against defendants based on purchases that occurred outside California would violate the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution.” Because the underlying conduct in this case involves not just the indirect purchase of price-fixed goods, but also the conspiratorial conduct that led to the sale of those goods, we answer in the negative. To the extent a defendant’s conspiratorial conduct is sufficiently connected to California, and is not “slight and casual,” the application of California law to that conduct is “neither arbitrary nor fundamentally unfair,” and the application of California law does not violate that defendant’s rights under the Due Process Clause. See Allstate Ins. Co. v. Hague, 449 U.S. 302, 312-13, 101 S.Ct. 633, 66 L.Ed.2d 521 (1981).
We therefore reverse the district court’s order dismissing Plaintiffs’ California law claims,1 and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
*1108BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Plaintiffs-Appellants AT & T Mobility LLC, AT & T Corporation, AT & T Services, Inc., BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., Pacific Bell Telephone Company, AT & T Operations, Inc., AT & T Datacomm, Inc., and Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (collectively, Plaintiffs) are entities that provide voice and data communication services, and also sell mobile wireless handsets. Collectively, they do business in many parts of the world, including in California, though only one of them alleges that its principal place of business is located in California. Defendants-Appellees AU Op-tronics Corporation of America, Inc., Chi Mei Corporation, Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation, Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA, Inc., CMO Japan Co., Ltd., Nex-gen Mediatech, Inc., Nexgen Mediatech USA, Inc., Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd., Tatung Company of America, Inc., Epson Imaging Devices Corporation, Epson Electronics America, Inc., and Hannstar Display Corporation (collectively, Defendants)2 are manufacturers and distributors of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, whose respective headquarters and principal places of business are located in Asia and the United States, including California. Plaintiffs allege that between 1996 and 2006, they purchased billions of dollars worth of mobile handsets containing Defendants’ LCD panels. They further allege that the prices they paid for those handsets were artificially inflated because Defendants had orchestrated a global conspiracy to fix the prices of LCD panels.
Plaintiffs sued Defendants in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California under the Clayton Act,3 the Sherman Act,4 California’s Cartwright Act,5 California’s UCL, and, in the alternative, the laws of a number of other states, seeking to recover damages caused by their direct and indirect purchases of LCD panels from Defendants. The Cartwright Act provides a private cause of action for indirect purchasers of price-fixed goods, whereas the antitrust laws of some other states do not. See Clayworth v. Pfizer, Inc., 49 Cal.4th 758, 111 Cal.Rptr.3d 666, 233 P.3d 1066, 1082-83 (2010) (discussing the effect of Ill. Brick Co. v. Illinois, 431 U.S. 720, 97 S.Ct. 2061, 52 L.Ed.2d 707 (1977), and California’s legislative response). None of Plaintiffs’ purchases at issue in this case was made in California.
After filing their initial complaint, Plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint (FAC). Defendants moved to dismiss Plaintiffs’ California law claims in the FAC on the ground that the Due Process Clause *1109of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids the application of California law to those claims. The district court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss, holding that the Due Process Clause requires that “in order to invoke the various state laws at issue, plaintiffs must be able to allege that ‘the occurrence or transaction giving rise to the litigation’ — plaintiffs’ purchases of allegedly price-fixed goods — occurred in the various states.”
The district court granted Plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint to specify each state in which the “purchases of price-fixed goods” were made. In this second amended complaint (SAC), Plaintiffs also included more detailed allegations regarding Defendants’ California conduct that they claimed violated California law. They alleged that “defendants engaged in and implemented their conspiracy in the U.S. through the offices they maintained in California,” and that Defendants entered into agreements to fix the prices of LCD panels in California. Plaintiffs offered significant detail as to what conspiratorial conduct took place in California. They alleged, for example, that specific employees of particular Defendants, operating from offices in California, participated in illegally obtaining and sharing their co-conspirators’ pricing information.
Defendants moved to dismiss the SAC, in response to which Plaintiffs maintained that “they may pursue all of their claims under California law because defendants’ price-fixing conduct in California creates the significant contacts between California and plaintiffs’ claims required by Due Process.” The district court disagreed, and dismissed Plaintiffs’ California law claims that were not based on purchases that took place in California.
The district court granted Plaintiffs’ motion to certify the dismissal order for immediate appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), and we granted permission to appeal.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Frey v. California., 982 F.2d 399, 401 (9th Cir.1993). We also “review de novo questions of law, including due process claims.” Buckingham v. Sec’y of U.S. Dept. of Agr., 603 F.3d 1073, 1080 (9th Cir.2010).
DISCUSSION
Plaintiffs challenge the district court’s conclusion that it violates Defendants’ due process rights to apply California antitrust law to claims involving the purchase of price-fixed goods outside of California. They allege that the application of California law to all Defendants is constitutionally permissible because Defendants conspired, in California and in violation of California law, to fix the prices of goods that Plaintiffs eventually purchased elsewhere.
In its order dismissing Plaintiffs’ FAC, the district court grounded its due process analysis on the view that “[i]n a price-fixing case, the relevant ‘occurrence or transaction’ is the plaintiffs purchase of an allegedly price-fixed good.” Accordingly, the court concluded that the application of the antitrust laws of any state other than the state where the Plaintiffs purchased the allegedly price-fixed goods would violate Defendants’ rights to due process. The court applied the same reasoning in its order dismissing Plaintiffs’ SAC, which we review on interlocutory appeal.
The district court’s conclusion ignores conduct that may give rise to a cause of action under the Cartwright Act. A modern “price-fixing case” is not a creature of common law, but instead arises under federal antitrust laws6 or the antitrust laws of *1110various states.7 The “relevant transaction or occurrence” for purposes of a due process analysis is therefore informed, at least in part, by the scope of conduct that gives rise to liability under the relevant statutes. A reading of the plain text of the Cartwright Act reveals that the district court’s plaee-of-purchase focus severely truncates the scope of anticompetitive conduct that the Act proscribes.
The Cartwright Act enumerates a relatively broad array of anticompetitive and conspiratorial conduct that constitutes a “trust.” Cal. Bus. & Prof.Code § 16720. The Act declares that “every trust is unlawful, against public policy and void,” id. § 16726, and provides a private right of action to “[a]ny person who is injured in his or her business or property by reason of anything forbidden or declared unlawful by this chapter,” id. § 16750.8 The unlawful activities described in section 16720 include the sale of price-fixed goods in California. Id. § 16720(d). But that section includes other conduct, such as the initial agreement to fix those prices — without reference to where those goods will eventually be sold. As the California Supreme Court has explained:
The Act also reaches deep in proscribing anticompetitive conduct: it prohibits two or more persons “[t]o make or enter into or execute or carry out any contracts, obligations or agreements of any kind or description, by which they ... [a]gree to pool, combine or directly or indirectly unite any interests that they may have connected with the sale or transportation of any ... article or commodity, that its price might in any manner be affected.” (Bus. & Prof.Code, § 16720, subd. (e)(4), italics added.) In so doing, the Act reaches beyond the Sherman Act to threats to competition in their incipiency....
Cianci v. Superior Court, 40 Cal.3d 903, 221 Cal.Rptr. 575, 710 P.2d 375, 383 (1985) (ellipses and alterations in original); see also Knevelbaard Dairies v. Kraft Foods, Inc., 232 F.3d 979, 986 (9th Cir.2000) (“Under both California and federal law, agreements fixing or tampering with prices are illegal per se.” (quoting Oakland-Alameda Cnty. Builders’ Exch. v. F.P. Lathrop Constr. Co., 4 Cal.3d 354, 93 Cal.Rptr. 602, 482 P.2d 226, 232 (1971) (in. bank))). Rightly understood then, the “transaction or occurrence” proscribed by the Cartwright Act includes not only the sale of price-fixed goods, but the full extent of incipient conspiratorial conduct described in section 16720 of the Act.
Defendants argue that the application of California law would nonetheless violate their due process rights because Plaintiffs’ purchases of price-fixed goods all took place outside of California. However, the United States Supreme Court held long ago that “[ojbjections which are founded upon the Fourteenth Amendment must ... be directed[ ] not to the existence of the power to impose liability for an injury outside state borders, but to the manner of its exercise as being so arbitrary or unreasonable as to amount to a denial of due process.” Alaska Packers Ass’n v. Indus. Accident Comm’n, 294 U.S. 532, 541-42, 55 S.Ct. 518, 79 L.Ed. 1044 (1935) (applying California Workmen’s Compensation Act to injuries sustained while employee was working in *1111Alaska, where employment contract was executed in California). Articulating what would amount to a denial of due process in that context, the Court later explained that “for a State’s substantive law to be selected in a constitutionally permissible manner, that State must have a significant contact or significant aggregation of contacts, creating state interests, such that choice of its law is neither arbitrary nor fundamentally unfair.” Allstate Ins. Co. v. Hague, 449 U.S. 302, 312-13, 101 S.Ct. 633, 66 L.Ed.2d 521 (1981).9 The Due Process Clause thus requires a court to invalidate the application of a state’s law only where the state has “no significant contact or significant aggregation of contacts, creating state interests, with the parties and the occurrence or transaction.” See id. at 308, 320, 101 S.Ct. 633.
In Allstate, the Court upheld the application of Minnesota insurance law to an insurance policy delivered in Wisconsin to a Wisconsin resident who subsequently died in an automobile accident that took place in Wisconsin and involved another Wisconsin resident. Id. at 320, 101 S.Ct. 633. Following the accident, the decedent’s wife moved to Minnesota and brought suit against the insurer in Minnesota court seeking a declaration that Minnesota law applied to her late husband’s automobile insurance policy. Id. at 305-06, 101 S.Ct. 633. The Minnesota Supreme Court upheld the application of Minnesota insurance law, and the United States Supreme Court affirmed. Id. at 306-07, 320, 101 S.Ct. 633. The plurality cited three contacts Minnesota had with the case and the parties: (1) the plaintiffs husband’s daily commute to Minnesota and his membership in that state’s workforce prior to his death; (2) Allstate’s general business presence in Minnesota; and (3) the plaintiffs Minnesota residency. Id. at 313-20,101 S.Ct. 633.
As the somewhat tenuous nature of the Minnesota contacts illustrates, the Court’s decision in Allstate places only “modest restrictions on the application of forum law,” Shutts, 472 U.S. at 818, 105 S.Ct. 2965, and most commentators have viewed Allstate as setting a highly permissive standard.10 Neither the purchase and delivery of the relevant insurance policy nor the automobile accident that the plaintiff sought to recover on occurred in Minnesota. By comparison, Plaintiffs claim that some portion of Defendants’ alleged illegal price-fixing conduct took place within California. Wherever the outer limit of due process constraints may lie, it is clear to us that Defendants’ alleged illegal activity within California created more significant contacts with California than the contacts described in Allstate created with Minnesota.
In contrast to the broad scope of the Allstate plurality’s search for contacts, the district court’s guiding principle makes a single contact&emdash;the location of Plaintiffs’ injury&emdash;dispositive. Put differently, the district court’s place-of-purchase rule rep*1112resents a return to the “wooden” and “now largely abandoned” lex loci delicti doctrine — an approach the plurality explicitly rejected in Allstate. See Allstate, 449 U.S. at 316 n. 22, 101 S.Ct. 633. The raison d’etre of choice of law analysis, particularly in the context of tort-like suits,11 is the common understanding that “a set of facts giving rise to a lawsuit, or a particular issue within a lawsuit, may justify, in constitutional terms, application of the law of more than one jurisdiction.” Allstate, 449 U.S. at 307, 101 S.Ct. 633; see also Shutts, 472 U.S. at 823, 105 S.Ct. 2965 (“[I]n many situations a state court may be free to apply one of several choices of law.”). We see no reason why the due process constraints on the application of state antitrust law should, unlike any other area of law, follow the obsolete lex loci delicti rule.
Instead, the relevant “occurrence or transaction” in this case includes not only the sale of price-fixed goods, but Defendants’ alleged agreements and conspiracies to fix LCD prices. Accordingly, the district court should have considered all of the Defendants’ conduct within California leading to the sale of price-fixed goods outside the state when determining whether California law could be applied without offending Defendants’ due process rights. See, e.g., Mazza v. Am. Honda Motor Co., 666 F.3d 581, 590 (9th Cir.2012) (“California has a constitutionally sufficient aggregation of contacts to the claims of each putative class member in this [fraudulent misrepresentation] case because Honda’s corporate headquarters, the advertising agency that produced the allegedly fraudulent misrepresentations, and one fifth of the proposed class members are located in California.”); Sullivan v. Oracle Corp., 662 F.3d 1265, 1270-71 (9th Cir.2011) (relying on both the location of defendant’s headquarters and the fact that “the decision to classify Plaintiffs as teachers and to deny them overtime pay was made in California,” to conclude that the contacts were “clearly sufficient” to apply California law to work performed within California by nonresident employees). Thus, in-state conduct that causes out-of-state injuries can be relevant to a due process analysis, in the antitrust context and otherwise.
Finally, we conclude that the perpetration of anticompetitive activities within California “creat[es] state interests” in applying California law to that conduct. See Allstate, 449 U.S. at 308, 320, 101 S.Ct. 633. While Defendants argue that the purpose of antitrust laws is to compensate consumers, the Supreme Court of California has found otherwise with respect to the Cartwright Act:
From its inception, the Cartwright Act has always been focused on the punishment of violators for the larger purpose of promoting free competition. It is, like antitrust laws generally, about the protection of competition, not competitors. Private damage awards are just a tool by which these procompetitive purposes are carried out....
Clayworth, 111 Cal.Rptr.3d 666, 233 P.3d at 1083 (internal quotations and citations omitted). Applying California law to anti-competitive conduct undertaken within California advances the Cartwright Act’s “overarching goals of maximizing effective deterrence of antitrust violations, enforcing the state’s antitrust laws against those violations that do occur, and ensuring dis*1113gorgement of any ill-gotten proceeds.” Id., 111 Cal.Rptr.3d 666, 233 P.3d at 1070; see also Diamond Multimedia Sys., Inc. v. Superior Court, 19 Cal.4th 1036, 80 Cal. Rptr.2d 828, 968 P.2d 539, 557 (1999) (“California also has a legitimate and compelling interest in preserving a business climate free of fraud and deceptive practices.”).
Nor would the application of California law impermissibly undermine the policies of other states, as Defendants contend. Because the Due Process Clause does nothing but circumscribe the universe of state laws that can be constitutionally applied to a given case, we “need not ... balance the competing interests of California and [other states].” United Farm Workers of Am., AFL-CIO v. Ariz. Agric. Emp’t Relations Bd., 669 F.2d 1249, 1256 (9th Cir.1982); see also Allstate, 449 U.S. at 308 n. 10, 101 S.Ct. 633 (“[T]he Court has since abandoned the weighing-of-interests requirement.”). Objections based on the interests of other states are more properly raised under a choice of law analysis,12 or potentially under a challenge predicated on some other provision of the U.S. Constitution.13 Defendants raised no such arguments before the district court.
In light of the above, we conclude that anticompetitive conduct by a defendant within a state that is related to a plaintiffs alleged injuries and is not “slight and casual”14 establishes a “significant aggregation of contacts, creating state interests, such that choice of its law is neither arbitrary nor fundamentally unfair.” Allstate, 449 U.S. at 312-13, 101 S.Ct. 633. Specifically, we hold in this case that the Cartwright Act can be lawfully applied without violating a defendant’s due process rights when more than a de minimis amount of that defendant’s alleged conspiratorial activity leading to the sale of price-fixed goods to plaintiffs took place in California. Such a defendant cannot reasonably complain that the application of California law is arbitrary or unfair when its alleged conspiracy took place, at least in part, in California.15 See Shutts, 472 U.S. at 822, 105 S.Ct. 2965 (“When considering fairness in this context, an important element is the expectation of the parties.”); Allstate, 449 U.S. at 317-18, 101 S.Ct. 633 (“By virtue of its presence, Allstate can hardly claim unfamiliarity with the laws of the host jurisdiction and surprise that the state courts might apply forum law to litigation in which the company is involved.”).
CONCLUSION
“A state court is rarely forbidden by the Constitution to apply its own state’s law,” Sullivan, 662 F.3d at 1271, especially where, as here, the case is predicated upon violations of a state’s law that allegedly occurred within that state. The relevant transaction or occurrence in a price-fixing case involves both the conspiracy to illegal*1114ly fix prices and the sale of price-fixed goods. The district court therefore erred in holding that the Due Process Clause will permit the application of California law in a price-fixing case only when a plaintiff purchased the price-fixed goods in California.
We reverse the district court’s order dismissing Plaintiffs’ claims under the Cartwright Act and the UCL. We remand to the district court for it to make an individual determination consistent with this opinion with respect to each Defendant as to whether Plaintiffs have alleged sufficient conspiratorial conduct within California, that is not “slight and casual,” such that the application of California law to that Defendant is “neither arbitrary nor fundamentally unfair.”
REVERSED and REMANDED.
. We focus on Plaintiffs’ claims under the *1108California Cartwright Act, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 16700-16770 (Cartwright Act or Act), but the principles articulated herein apply equally to Plaintiffs' claims under California’s Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof.Code §§ 17200 et seq. (UCL). The UCL provides a cause of action for harms caused by "any unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business act or practice.” Id. It thereby " ‘borrows’ violations from other laws by making them independently actionable as unfair competitive practices.” Korea Supply Co. v. Lockheed Martin Corp., 29 Cal.4th 1134, 131 Cal.Rptr.2d 29, 63 P.3d 937, 943 (2003). Because a violation of the Cartwright Act is, by definition, actionable under the UCL, we do not belabor our analysis in this case with respect to Plaintiffs’ UCL claims.
