The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California has been very good to The California Institute of Technology. Earlier this year, jurors in U.S. District Judge George Wu’s courtroom awarded Caltech a $1.1 billion verdict against Apple Inc. and Broadcom Corp. for infringement of Caltech’s error-correcting code technology.

Now Caltech and its same Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan team are asserting the same patents under the same theory against HP and Dell in … the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. Wait, what???
