Roundup of Commentary on U.S. Supreme Court's Patent Venue Ruling

In Monday's post regarding TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLCNo. 16-341, slip op. (U.S. Supr. May 22, 2017), we noted:

In TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC,[1] the U.S. Supreme Court upended nearly 30 years of established practice in the world of patent litigation.  It has long been assumed in the field that patent infringement suits may be filed in any jurisdiction in which the infringing product is sold.  Accordingly, many patent infringement suits were filed in the Eastern District of Texas, which developed a reputation of having a fast-moving docket and knowledgeable judges.  The Supreme Court’s recent holding that infringement suits must be filed in the jurisdiction of the defendant’s domicile means that much of this litigation will move to popular corporate domicile jurisdictions such as Delaware and Nevada.
