Re: The game is afoot!
That's a pretty bold claim to say that the East District of Texas biased its rulings deliberately to 'drum up more business' as it were. Where's your proof? Some court has to be the most troll-friendly, so they looked at the court records and found it. It might not even be a large difference, but it would be worth it even for a 5% difference between the most and least favorable district.
Choosing the location of or relocating your corporate headquarters involves MANY factors, and the patent owner friendliness of the local US district court is hardly going to be at the top of the list when you consider stuff like taxes, liability laws and so forth. I really can't see Apple or Google pulling up stakes from California and relocating to Ohio if they found that was the most patent owner friendly state...
