Document:
August filings slowed some from July, as they usually do with NPEs taking a summer break. After the TC Heartland venue decision came down, filings increased and diversified. As you would expect, NPEs began filing most cases outside of the Eastern District of Texas. Most of the non-Texas filings went to Delaware, but many were also dispersed across California, Florida, and Illinois. Frequent filers included Anuwave, Coding Technologies, Kaldren, Mirror Imaging, Pherah, Tangelo IP, and VOIT Technologies.
