Count me among the latest issue, on the Eastern District of Texas to is still the meeting place for putting the complainant's patent litigation.? A "Rocket Docket" it ain't.
We have made a fair number of cases in the East District over the years.? Even if the thing is used to move with the dispatch of one of our most recent was the first available date for a Markman hearing June 2010.??In another case, we are waiting for a preliminary ruling Markman after consultation in April 2007.
And check this apparently routine order we just received.? It requires basic requesting consent prior to the submission of a whole host of draft resolutions and on the front page clearly states the measures necessary for the "due to the large number of patent litigation pending on the Court's docket."
It is no doubt of the Eastern District well deserved reputation as a fair and friendly forum for hearing patent litigation.? But I suspect that there may be too much of a good thing. Backlog was probably inevitable.
* Yes, I am aware of Houston not actually in the East District.? Just could not resist the cheap humour.
