Comment Re:Western District of Texas?!? (Score 4, Insightful) 37
Judge Albright is in the Western District of Texas (Waco), which has taken much of the new patent cases that used to go to Eastern District of Texas.
While article says this court is "plaintiff-friendly", in reality this court has a specialized IP litigation docket, with processes that expedite patent cases to trial. Some plaintiffs may favor that, but it also benefits defenses to have the court know the ins and outs of IP and to have specific expertise.
