Fresh off last week’s updates to Judge Albright’s Standing Orders (covered here and here); this week brings a further update, in the form of version 3.4 of the Court’s Order Governing Proceedings. It’s been only about four months since the Court rolled out OGP v3.3, and it’s fair to say this is just a series […]
Amended Standing Order for Notice of Readiness: Yesterday Judge Albright released an amended standing order concerning the Case Readiness Status Report (“CRSR”), which informs the Court that a case is ready for a Case Management Conference (“CMC”). Under the previous standing order, parties were required to wait forthe Court to issue a CMC date, which […]

Today the jury in CloudofChange v. NCR returned a verdict in favor of Plaintiff CloudofChange, to the tune of $13.2 million. The jury also found NCR liable for willful infringement of the asserted patents. Here is where we stand thus far in Waco patent trials: Interestingly, Plaintiffs have had better luck in the Waco Division […]
Last week was actually a pretty quiet week for media coverage of the Waco Division, but now we return to our (quasi-)regularly scheduled link roundup: Richard Lloyd of IAM Media covers remarks from Judge Albright made earlier this week at the American Intellectual Property Law Association’s spring meeting: Speed will remain of the essence in […]
