  Well, the net is your friend, e.g. this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22east+texas%22+or+%22rocket+docket%22+defense https://www.google.com/search?q=%22east+texas%22+or+%22rocke... Lead to this first article: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/east-texas-courts-are-back-on-top-for-patent-lawsuits/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/east-texas-courts... from the beginning of the year that adds a lot of details and nuance to the story. E.g. it's not a Rocket Docket anymore, not defense friendly in that summary judgement is seldom granted, trials are quick which can present difficulties in multi-defendant cases, but plenty of plaintiffs are losing big, like in the Eolas case. 4 day trial, found invalid, game over.
