Distributing Cases in W.D.Tex.

On July 25, 2022, W.D.Tex. Main Decide Garcia issued a one of a kind buy about assignment patent situations submitted in Waco Texas federal court.  Prior to that get, all Waco instances have been assigned to Choose Albright.  Lots of accused infringers complained that Albright was taking cases to trial to quickly and immediately after some political pressure Judge Garcia issued this new purchase that heading ahead any patent actions submitted in Waco will be dispersed randomly to one of twelve W.D.Tex. Judges.

Given that that day, 234 patent instances have been submitted in W.D.Tex.  1 shock from wanting at the judicial assignments — about 1/3 of these new scenarios have been assigned to Choose Albright. It seems that the court docket might be producing an exception to the rule when new cases are carefully related to currently pending situations, but I have not seen any public statement on that entrance.  Of the other 11 judges, all have gained at least a single new situation, with most getting 9-11 patent cases to cope with.  The new randomness seems to also create a hold off in case assignment.  About 25% of the circumstances have not nonetheless been assigned to any decide — most of these are conditions filed in Oct.
