Expert orders

Last Week in Texas – October 20, 2021
Two trials and two patent owner losses. Who said Texas was a plaintiff’s dream? Could 101 be the most powerful invalidity attack in front of the jury? And a venue argument that was too much for Judge Albright. Last week’s podcast here.
Divisional Transfer to Austin
Granted. (Yawn). Actually, some very interesting language in here for those following the recent back and forth of venue caselaw.
Texarkana limines
We haven’t got Judge Craven much longer. So we need to enjoy her rulings while we still can.
Motion To Transfer To Northern District Of California Granted
Judge Albright transferred one of a number of cases pending in his court in an MDL proceeding.
Related Defendants Go 1-1 on Improper Venue Challenges
The sub got out. The parent wasn’t so lucky.
EDTX local rule changes
The court just issued a set of local rule changes, effective December 1. The changes affect only L.R. AT-2(b) dealing with reciprocal attorney discipline.
Motion to Strike Damages Expert
The court struck three paragraphs and two bullet points. Knowing why helps make sure the same doesn’t happen to my expert.
“You point out right now the person in this room who you think is brave enough to ask that question upstairs.”
Um. Okay, I think we’ll drop that motion in limine topic.
