In re Comcast Cable Communications, LLC

 
APPEAL NO.
26-104
OP. BELOW
DCT
SUBJECT
Patent
AUTHOR
Per curiam

Issue(s) Presented

“Whether a defendant’s alleged performance of a single step of a claimed multi-step method in a judicial district is insufficient to establish that ‘the defendant has committed acts of infringement’ in the district for purposes of venue under 28 U.S.C. § 1400(b).”

Holding

“Comcast has failed to show it has no other adequate means to challenge the district court’s venue determination. . . . ‘[A]n appeal will usually provide an adequate remedy for a defendant challenging the denial of an improper-venue motion,’ and Comcast has failed to demonstrate that review of its challenge in a post-judgment appeal would be ‘inadequate’ under the circumstances of this case.”
