The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has added to its growing body of case law about the grounds for transferring patent infringement cases. In a Dec. 15 unanimous order in In Re Vistaprint Ltd. and OfficeMax Inc. , the court departed from a recent appellate trend of ordering cases transferred from the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas; it affirmed the lower court judge’s denial of Vistaprint and OfficeMax’s transfer bid.
ColorQuick LLC sued the companies in the Eastern District of Texas, alleging infringement of a patent related to computer technologies used to print documents and other media.
