Fed. Circ.’s New Patent Venue Test Quickly Spurs Transfers
Troutman Sanders is mentioned in a Law360 story titled, “Fed. Circ.’s New Patent Venue Test Quickly Spurs Transfers.” The story shares developments in Symbology Innovations LLC v. Lego Systems Inc., a patent infringement case. On Sept. 28, a district judge held that her court is not the proper venue for the suit because it does not meet the Federal Circuit’s test. "Having chosen an improper venue in the first instance, Symbology's attempt to tap its ruby slippers and make another wish is uncompelling," wrote Judge Arenda Wright Allen. The case was transferred to the District of Connecticut, where Lego is headquartered. Partner Dabney Carr IV represents Lego.
