J. Berton allows an electronic company to conduct limited venue discovery in a patent dispute before ruling on a motion from a competitor it sued to either dismiss this case or transfer it to the District of Delaware. Venue is a “threshold issue” here, because if this case is ultimately transferred, the arguments for dismissal would be best considered by the other court.

J. Albright denies a tech company’s motion to transfer this patent case to the District of Idaho after it was sued by a competitor for allegedly infringing on a patent for “variable charge pump circuit with dynamic load.” The District of Idaho is not clearly more convenient, but the parties can transfer this case to the Austin venue, as both agree that venue would be better than the Waco one it’s in.

J. Albright denies Samsung's motion to transfer a case to the Northern District of California after it was sued for alleged infringement of a variety of patents on wireless devices and systems.

J. Albright grants Apple's motion to transfer venue in a patent infringement action brought by the patent owner to the Northern District of California. The owner alleges that Apple's iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch products infringe on a number of patents related to enhancements in mobile device communication functionality and other technology. The Northern District of California is a more convenient forum than the Western District of Texas because 10 of Apple's likely witnesses live in California and Washington and Apple's documents related to the design and development of the accused products are likely located in California.

J. Howard partially grants the competitor's motion to dismiss a patent infringement action brought by the company and transfers the case from the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The competitor has a policy allowing employees to work remotely. Although the home offices of the competitor's employees constitute a physical location in which the competitor's business is carried out, there is insufficient evidence to show that the employees' homes are actually places of business of the competitor.
Court: USDC Northern District of Georgia, Judge: Howard, Filed On: August 21, 2023, Case #: 1:23cv3730, NOS: Patent - Property Rights, Categories: patent, venue
J. Rodriguez grants a motion by Google to transfer a case to the Northern District of California after it was sued by a non-practicing entity for alleged infringement of a patent on wireless network technology. The majority of relevant witnesses are in the NDCA as are most of Google's documents that will be important to this case. Furthermore, Google has significant ties to the NDCA, where it is headquartered, and the events that gave rise to this suit occurred primarily in that district.
Court: USDC Western District of Texas , Judge: Rodriguez, Filed On: July 26, 2023, Case #: 6:22cv1214, NOS: Patent - Property Rights, Categories: patent, venue, Technology
J. Conley denies Target's motion to transfer the technology company's lawsuit alleging Target's infringement of patents for mobile apps to help customers in find products in a store to the District of Minnesota. In part because the company's location in Mequon, Wisconsin and Target's location in Minneapolis, Minnesota do not make travel to the Madison, Wisconsin district court overly burdensome, Target has failed to show how the District of Minnesota or the Eastern District of Wisconsin are more convenient forums for the parties or witnesses, so the case will remain where it was filed.
Court: USDC Western District of Wisconsin, Judge: Conley, Filed On: June 26, 2023, Case #: 3:22cv425, NOS: Patent - Property Rights, Categories: patent, venue
J. Albright denies a motion to dismiss or alternatively transfer to the Northern District of California after one company sued a competitor for alleged infringement of a patent on unspecified technology.
