Technology Cases to Watch in 2017

Overview


Ahsan Shaikh called the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the TC Heartland case, which could restrict plaintiff patent litigation in the Eastern Texas District Court, “really, really important for tech companies because no one [from these big companies]really wants…to fly to the Eastern District of Texas. That district is favorable to plaintiffs, not the defendants, which are usually the tech companies. It’s just not a place that tech companies want to be in.”
