Success, thanks for that post copying the recent filing in the TX case.
"Scanbuy and MFR filed this action against NeoMedia on November 26, 2008, alleging infringement of two patents. NeoMedia filed an answer in which, among other things, NeoMedia ... denied that jurisdiction was proper in the Eastern District of Texas. At a February 25, 2009 status conference, the jurisdictional issue was raised, and the Court suggested that the parties consider transferring this action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
After the status conference, the parties conferred in an effort to avoid motion practice in this Court on the jurisdictional issue. Ultimately, NeoMedia provided Scanbuy and MFR with a declaration from a corporate officer stating that, to the best of its knowledge, NeoMedia has not conducted any business in the Eastern District of Texas."
So there it is. The jurisdiction issue had been raised by Neomedia on November 26 when it filed its answer to Scanbuy's complaint; and that issue was clearly going to go Neomedia's way, so Scanbuy just agreed that the case should be moved to NY, as the judge in Texas had already suggested (rather than waste lawyer time and fees litigationg it, or, as the Court put it, "to avoid motion practice in this Court on the jurisdictional issue").
No relevance to the settlement speculation at all.
