Marshall, Texas, located in the Eastern District of Texas, has become "the unlikely patent litigation capital of America." (Texas Monthly) In 2002, 32 patent lawsuits were filed in the Eastern District. (New York Times) In 2015, the Eastern District of Texas received 2,540 patent litigation cases. This constitutes 43.6% of all patent litigation cases filed in the United States, which is more than the next top three districts combined. (Lex Machina)
