This American Life actually did a pretty good story on patents. I'm pretty sure part of it explained the historical reason for why the ninth circuit gets so many patent cases: patent cases are lower priority on dockets, so if plaintiffs ever wanted their cases heard they needed to find a court that had less higher priority cases to hear.
