In the wake of Lone Star, parties transacting for patent rights ought to consider whether the controlling agreement might constitute a license, even if it purports to be an assignment agreement.

Douglas R. Nemec and Edward L. Tulin of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom write that when, in December 2011, the Federal Circuit for the first time overturned a venue decision from a jurisdiction other than the Eastern District of Texas, there was considerable speculation that the District of Delaware, which was the target of the writ of mandamus, would become more amenable to transfer motions and a less desirable forum for patentees to file infringement actions. Such speculation appears, at least thus far, to have been largely unfounded.
