Patent Case vs. Dish is Transferred From Texas to Colo.

U.S. District Judge Alan Albright for Western Texas in Waco signed an order Tuesday granting the joint motion of plaintiff SafeCast and defendant Dish Network to transfer SafeCast’s June 27 patent infringement complaint to U.S. District Court for Colorado. The case was docketed as 6:22-cv-00677 and assigned to U.S. Magistrate Judge Kato Crews. SafeCast alleges that the customizable advertising functionality on the Dish Media platform infringes a July 2016 patent on time-shifted viewing of broadcast TV ads. Albright is the district judge whom the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has repeatedly scolded for his refusal to transfer patent cases out of his jurisdiction for more fitting venues (see 2211210049).
