Welcome to Waco Patent Litigation Updates: a blog by Jacqueline Altman, John Palmer, and Andy Powell, discussing newsworthy developments out of Waco, TX that don’t have to do with Chip and Joanna Gaines (for now).
Unless you are brand new to the patent litigation game, you should be aware that Waco is finally on the map for something other than Fixer Upper, Baylor football, or the Branch Davidians. The Western District of Texas, Waco Division is now the newest patent litigation hub in the nation thanks to the appointment of its latest District Judge, Alan Albright. If patent filings continue in Waco at the rate they have been since he took the bench, this small courthouse on Franklin Ave. is poised to widen its influence far past the Heart of Texas.
This blog is designed to be a forum for up-to-date, local information on all thing patent litigation, focusing on aspects unique to the Waco Division. Our goal is to be your one-stop resource for all things local patent litigation in Waco.
