Texas court upholds “do it on a computer” check-cashing patent

- yellowapple 7y agoOf course a Texas court upheld a bogus patent. It's a Texas court. It's what they do. Patent trolls love taking their cases to Texas because Texas courts routinely side with software patent holders and effectively ignore judicial precedent at higher levels (which is exactly what happened here).

The federal circuit judges are appointed by the President, not Texas. > Texas courts routinely side with software patent holders Again, wrong. It's the federal courts in the Eastern District of Texas that are the problem in particular. Not any Texas court that has meaningful de jure associations to the state itself.
