Litigating Patent Infringement Cases in the ‘Rocket Docket
Partners Dabney Carr and Robert Angle were published in the Virginia Lawyer. Their byline, “Litigating Patent Infringement Cases in the ‘Rocket Docket,’” explores one of the country’s most active venues for patent litigation – the Eastern District of Virginia (“EDVA”). They write, “The EDVA’s speedy docket attracts patent infringement lawsuits. While the pressures of the ‘rocket docket’ provide plaintiff-patentees with some advantages, defendants enjoy the EDVA’s willingness to grant dispositive motions and its strict trial procedures. As a result, the EDVA should remain a popular forum for patent lawsuits.”
