How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the preferred forum in a patent infringement action 1s that which is “the center of the accused activity”
• finding that, although the inventors of the plaintiffs patent were located in Virginia and Maryland, such did not overcome the fact that the center of accused activity was in Hawaii
• affording the plaintiff's choice of forum “very slight weight” where sales were not “unique to Virginia”
• giving little weight to the presence of the plaintiffs non-party witnesses in or near the forum because the plaintiff did not show why it would need live testimony or why de bene esse depositions were inadequate
