While fewer patent suits will be assigned to U.S. District Judge Alan Albright of Waco following a Monday order from the chief judge of the Western District of Texas, firms that opened offices in Waco because it’s the busiest patent court in the nation don’t plan to move out.

That’s the case for Patterson + Sheridan and Gray Reed & McGraw, two Texas firms that opened offices in Waco in early 2019, shortly after Albright was sworn in as a federal judge in September 2018.
