Indeed. Delaware and Northern California are about to get very, very busy.
- richdougherty 9y ago…but hopefully less busy than Marshall, TX has been.
- jjeaff 9y agoI'll wager it won't get crazy busy. The Texas court was letting anything and everything through. It won't take many summary judgements from courts in these jurisdictions before it is no longer profitable to troll. Districts like Delaware have a vested interest in being a business friendly place to file your corporation papers. They won't likely allow the district to become an easy place to file phoney patent suits. And in districts where the companies actually reside will be even less likely to let through these time wasters that damage their biggest employers and shrink their tax base.
- linkregister 9y agoWhy would federal judges care about the vested interests of the state of Delaware? I'm not trolling, I just don't get the argument.
- tonypace 9y agoFederal judges are part of the local legal community, just like the law firms that survive by creating Delaware corporations. Social cues and environment affect all of us more than we imagine.
- staticautomatic 9y agoYou can't just hand-wave stuff away and assume some rational actor model. Every IP lawyer I know disagrees with you, and I talked to a number of them today about their take. Their phones are blowing up and they're already making preparations to move the cases to Delaware and NDCal.
- albeebe1 9y agoWhat is NDCal?
- estsauver 9y agoNorthern District of California I believe.
- LoonyBalloony 9y agoCalifornia should be two states or it's own country (imo).
