Texas Judge Retains Jurisdiction in Hyundai Patent Case, Denies Transfer Request

The Western District of Texas’ Chief Judge has denied a motion by an Oregon technology firm seeking to relocate its patent litigation against Hyundai to U.S. District Judge Alan Albright’s court. The decision emphasized that the existence of three related cases under Judge Albright’s oversight does not provide adequate grounds for an intra-district transfer, according to the court ruling.
