Now it would be great if there was a certain court in Texas that votes in favour of citizens for every Patriot/FISA Act court case, just like there is one for patent trolls.


I'm sure that court's judges would suddenly be offered ambassadorships somewhere and new appointments would not be so friendly.


Defendants win the majority of patent cases in Texas.


I think that is incorrect. Patent holders win almost 60% of patent cases in East Texas, as opposed to the national average of just over 30%. Delaware is almost as bad.

Patent trolls or NPEs win at a much higher there as well - 45% versus 20%.
