We’ll start off this week with a roundup of last week’s links. Considering there was a full jury trial (albeit a very short one!) in the Waco Division last week, there actually wasn’t an overwhelming amount of media coverage. Perhaps that’s a sign of a maturing Court—i.e., as more jury trials occur in front of […]
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 […]
We didn’t have time to get to it on Friday, so instead we’ll begin this week with a link roundup, with mini-summaries of our own layered in. The VLSI-Intel trial may be done, but Waco Division media coverage has slowed barely, if at all. Here’s what came across our radar over the past couple weeks […]
Earlier today the Federal Circuit granted a petition for mandamus in In re: SK hynix, the fourth in a recent string of significant orders concerning transfer-motion practice before Judge Albright. However, unlike the Federal Circuit’s prior orders in In re: Apple and In re: Intel (parts 1 and 2), this ruling doesn’t concern the substance […]
Based on yet another Federal Circuit mandamus order issued earlier today, we now know the answer to the question we posed a few weeks back, about when the VLSI v. Intel trial scheduled before Judge Albright is actually likely to open. To review, in November and December, we covered: Judge Albright’s decision to transfer the […]
There’s now some more clarity on next steps in the VLSI v. Intel case. Intel and VLSI filed their opposition and reply briefs (respectively) yesterday, December 29. The Court and parties convened for a Zoom hearing at 10AM Central this morning. The parties’ argument largely focused on the proper interpretation of the final paragraph of […]
Welcome to continuing coverage of the Federal Circuit’s In re: Apple mandamus order. In this post we’ll focus on the near-term consequences of the ruling. First, here’s what’s happened to the litigants: Monday afternoon the Court convened a status conference involving plaintiff Uniloc 2017 and defendant Apple. The hearing was intended to address percolating discovery […]
Yesterday the Federal Circuit issued an order granting a mandamus petition filed by Apple regarding a patent case proceeding in the Waco Division. The order effectively reverses Judge Albright’s prior denial of Apple’s motion for a convenience transfer to the N.D. Cal. under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), based on the Federal Circuit’s “conclu[sion] that Apple […]
On November 9, 2020, the Federal Circuit issued an order granting Apple’s mandamus petition to transfer its case against Uniloc to the Northern District of California (“NDCA”). We previously discussed the panel majority opinion, so this post will focus on Judge Judge Kimberly A. Moore’s dissenting opinion – which contained some flavorful rhetoric. Judge Moore […]
