You may be making a mistake in trying to compare the plaintiff win rates between districts. If patent trolls/non-practicing entities with frivolous patents are suing in EDT and still winning at proportional rates to other districts, then the district still favors those plaintiffs disproportionately. It would take a lot of work to work out variables like that. What I would be curious about is what proportion of patent suits brought by non-practicing entities are filed in EDT, and what is their win rate there versus elsewhere, and an attempt at analysis of how broad the patents are. Finally, I wonder if your win rate includes settlements? My understanding is that the combination of the win rate of plaintiffs, the speed of the court, and the higher cost of defending a patent suit in a remote district, most cases are settled. Is that true?
