My inference is that if Apple does no business in that jurisdiction, with the recent ruling about patent holders not being able to choose where to file, the patent trolls will have approximately zero chance of that district being approved to weigh in on the patent trolling.
It also serves as a detriment to the city, particularly if any other companies follow suit, depending on how much the eastern district earns directly and indirectly on these lawsuits.
That wouldn't be smart, because then they'd still have a physical presence in the district. The sooner they can lock the door and terminate the lease, the sooner they get the benefit of not being located there.
I'm suggesting taping the note to the inside of the door on your way out. I don't think that counts as presence. The locals aren't likely to know why it closed. Seems reasonable to me that they know.
