He is a "plaintiff" Judge in a "plaintiff" jurisdiction read below:
It also caused the American Tort Reform Association to label the eastern district of Texas one of its "judicial hellholes." (Among its complaints: "The court is viewed as favorable to so-called 'patent trolls' by refusing to dismiss meritless claims early in litigation, thereby providing claimants with greater settlement leverage.") It noted that one judge in Marshall, Rodney Gilstrap, presided over some 17 percent of all patent cases in the entire country.
In recent years, defendants have fared better in Marshall. Last year, according to Michael Smith, a Marshall lawyer who blogs about patent cases, plaintiffs barely won half of the cases that went to trial. Eastern district judges even set aside three jury verdicts in favor of plaintiffs, which Smith, in his blog, described as something that rarely happens. It probably didn’t hurt the corporate defendants that Samsung, whose lawyers are frequent visitors to Marshall, built the town an ice skating rink a few years ago. It sits directly in front of the courthouse.
On the other hand, in a case tried before Judge Gilstrap in 2015, a patent troll called Smartflash LLC won a $533 million verdict against Apple; it was overturned on appeal two months ago. And the rocket docket and all the other quirks that have made Marshall a patent-troll haven were hardly going away. As one lawyer put it to me, "In Marshall, the plaintiff is the customer."
