The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Wednesday refused to place any restrictions on where foreign companies may be sued for patent infringement in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s TC Heartland v. Kraft Foods Group Brands ruling.

A three-judge panel of the appellate court denied Taiwan-based smartphone maker HTC Corp.’s petition for a writ of mandamus challenging a lower court’s ruling that a foreign corporation can be sued in any U.S. district court.
