VoIP-Pal Hails Federal Circuit Decision Keeping Amazon Case in Waco

VoIP-Pal lauded Monday’s decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denying Amazon’s mandamus petition to vacate the orders of U.S. District Judge Alan Albright for the Western District of Texas in Waco and transfer VoIP-Pal’s infringement lawsuit against Amazon to the Northern District of California (see 2301100001). “We are very pleased that the appellate court has upheld the district court’s decision to keep the case in Waco,” said VoIP-Pal CEO Emil Malak in a statement Wednesday. “This has been a long legal process that we hope to bring to a fair conclusion soon.” The Federal Circuit’s three-judge panel ruled unanimously that Amazon failed to show the Northern California transferee venue was clearly more convenient, and that the district court was correct in denying Amazon’s motion for reconsideration. Amazon hasn’t commented on the decision.
