That’s not true, thanks to recent precedent:

https://www.krcl.com/articles/patently-unpredictable-patent-...

> [T]he Federal Circuit in In re Cray rejected the Eastern District of Texas’ expansive four-factor test and set forth three requirements for determining whether a defendant has a “regular and established place of business” in the district: (1) there must be a physical place in the district; (2) it must be regular and established; and (3) it must be the place of the defendant.



Oh dang. There are a bunch of hardware companies with offices in the North Dallas area (ex Ericsson, Nokia); I wonder if they're thinking of moving west or south to get out of the district.
