The Texas Lawbook recently reported that the number of patent infringement lawsuits filed in the state is seeing a downward trend, with the East Texas docket declining the first six months of this year.

“This allows the Eastern District to get back to its roots – allows cases to get to trial more quickly because the bad cases have been weeded out and the courts can focus on the good cases.”
