The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a ruling on Monday that will sharply limit the places where companies can file patent infringement lawsuits, a move that is expected to have significant implications for Silicon Valley and Northern California’s federal courts.
In a unanimous decision, the court overturned a long-standing precedent that gave patent plaintiffs wide latitude over where they could bring a lawsuit — a dynamic that critics say allowed so-called patent trolls to press their cases in friendlier venues.
The court’s ruling Monday will curb that practice by allowing patent suits to be filed only where a defendant company “resides,” meaning the district where it is headquartered or the state where it is incorporated.
