A Holiday Gift
I'm sure many of you spent the month of December looking for something significant for that special GC in your life. Well, you can forget about the wine, chocolate and fruit baskets. Last week, the justices of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit provided the perfect gift for GCs of companies facing increased litigation with patent trolls. It came in the form of a decision in the case of In Re TS Tech USA. (A PDF of the ruling is here.) This decision increases the likelihood that courts will grant requests for a change in venue in well known "plaintiff friendly" jurisdictions.
It's a nice way to begin the year. Although, on reflection, a good bottle of wine is always appreciated.

does this mean GC now resolves to both General Counsel and
Garbage Collection?
