The Federal Circuit has denied SAP SE’s effort to transfer a patent infringement case from the Eastern District of Texas’ Marshall division to the Sherman division. Represented by former U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Director Kathi Vidal, SAP had sought the transfer in an attempt to change the venue of the ongoing litigation. This decision keeps the case within a jurisdiction known for its plaintiff-friendly stance in patent cases.
