So here is what I find interesting on both the scheduling and the venue, based on the docket report on PACER.
On Dec 21 2020, the Scheduling Order was posted (document 27) which referenced the Markman Hearing for early June. One week later, Intel filed its Motion to Transfer (document 28), in which it asked that the venue be changed from Waco to Austin, and that its request was unopposed by HDC. I don't see any documentation that the judge denied the request, and the only documents on the docket report since the Motion to Transfer was filed (documents 29 and 30) don't relate to it.
Again, the judge's calendar still shows that the Markman Hearing is now scheduled for April 29th in Waco.
Here are the most recent 4 documents on PACER:
