HIGH COURT WILL CONSIDER WHETHER PATENT VENUE STATUTE IS SOLE PROVISION GOVERNING VENUE IN INFRINGEMENT ACTIONS

摘要

Granting certiorari, the United States Supreme Court has agreed to address whether the patent venue statute is the sole and exclusive provision governing venue in patent infringement actions, or whether it is to be supplemented by the statute governing venue generally. See TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Food Brands Group LLC, 2016 WL 4944616 (U.S. 2016).
