Marshall/Tyler patent scheduling conferences – November 19, 2018; Time to Trial Analysis

It’s been two months since the September scheduling conferences, so we were back across the street yesterday for scheduling conferences in patent cases, followed by scheduling conferences in … everything else.  The cases discussed below are for Judge Gilstrap’s share of the Marshall and Tyler patent docket.  I also included some observations on how cases are scheduled.

April 24 Patent Case Scheduling Conferences

The most recent batch of bimonthly patent case scheduling conferences was held April 24 in Marshall, and as usual I have a brief rundown of the results compared to the last conference at the beginning of February.

February 2 Marshall/Tyler Patent Scheduling Conferences & Larger Filing Trends

The most recent batch of bimonthly patent case scheduling conferences was held earlier this week in Marshall, and as usual I have a brief rundown of the results compared to the last conference at the end of November, as well as the ones in September and July for longer term trends.
I am also comparing the results to the cases heard a year ago, since that tells us a lot about filings trends and how they’re affecting the docket.  The trend also bears some relating to recent data from other sources that I thought might be of interest.
