The nation's busiest patent docket is also now its hottest. On March 2nd, jurors in the Waco Division of the Western District of Texas returned a $2.175 billion patent infringement verdict for VLSI Technology LLC against Intel Corp. in only the second patent trial in U.S. District Judge Alan Albright's courtroom.

The verdict was a big win for Irell & Manella and Mann Tindel Thompson, who represented Fortress Investment Group-backed VLSI.
