Managing IP speaks to David Jones; executive director of the High Tech Inventors Alliance; Brad Watts, minority chief counsel of the Senate judiciary subcommittee on intellectual property; and David Pridham, CEO of non-practising entity Dominion Harbor.
Speakers discussed the fact that Supreme Court chief justice John Roberts has ordered the Judicial Conference of the US to study judicial assignment and venue for patent cases.
Roberts ordered this study after a letter from senators Patrick Leahy and Thom Tillis – the respective chair and ranking member of the senate judiciary subcommittee on IP– who expressed concerns about the rise of patent cases in the Western District of Texas.
This venue was the most popular forum for patent litigation in 2021, with Albright accounting for about 25% of all case filings.
