How courts have described this case

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

noting that the deference to the plaintiff’s choice of forum “is based on an assumption that the plaintiff’s choice will be a convenient one”
noting that where a corporation is located is likely the location of “many potential witnesses” and “relevant documentation”
noting that plaintiff, who accused Apple of engaging in “abusive litigation” in other countries, was a Taiwanese corporation with its principal place of business in Taiwan
noting that “none of Apple’s alleged abusive litigation relates to Western Arkansas”
stating that “[a] foreign plaintiff’s choice of forum is entitled to substantially less deference” in part because there is an increased risk that “the plaintiff chose the forum to take advantage of favorable law or to harass the defendant”
affording “minimal weight” to the chosen forum “[bjecause no relevant connection exists between [the parties], potential witnesses, or the dispute and [the plaintiffs chosen forum]”
