Once again, a federal judge in Philadelphia has clipped the wings of some of the country's largest egg producers hoping to hatch their way out of multidistrict class action litigation over alleged price-fixing for eggs and egg products.

At the urging of Nintendo and its lawyers at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, the Federal Circuit issued a mandamus order telling a federal court judge in Texas to transfer a patent infringement case over the Wii video game system out of the state.
