Venue and Judge(s)
Litigation Information

Here is some basic information on the venue and particular judge(s) who are involved in the litigation. If you have time, it is interesting reading. Those of us that went through law school may find it interesting anyway.

Remember, venue and judge(s) do matter, my knowledge of the law is very limited in the arena of intellectual property, so I'm afraid I am of little help here.
