I don’t understand. Most firms that get sued in Texas for patent infringement don’t have mortar and brick shops in Eastern Texas.
If it was that easy to avoid infringement lawsuits in Eastern Texas, Eastern Texas would be completely deserted by tech companies, forcing the people there to change their policy.

- modeless 8y agoUntil May 2017, having a physical presence was not a requirement for being sued there. Now because of the Supreme Court ruling referenced in the article, it is. Expect to see more businesses leaving the Eastern District of Texas, and possibly avoiding incorporation in Texas as well since that would also expose you.
