this. It's not the win rate per se, it's the fact that the District Court judges and clerks are unusually experienced in IP litigation. You have to understand that in other districts the judges are doing federal criminal matters, civil class actions, debt collection abuse litigation, admiralty law (any slip and fall on a cruise ship is a federal lawsuit) and so on. In ED Texas, the clerks all have hard-science undergrad (and sometimes graduate) degrees as well as degrees from top law schools because this is a major leagues of IP litigation. Want a guaranteed six figure income as a 26 year old? Clerk for two years in Marshall, then send your resume to Cooley or Wilson Sonsini or Loeb & Loeb and see how fast they return your call. This is miles and miles beyond most lawyers, who struggle with basic math and still use dictaphones and WordPerfect and aol.com email addresses. This also means that the litigation goes faster, which is always something that clients complain about. Win or lose, you want the dispute resolved.
