Interestingly, with the alleged "explosion" in patent litigation, there were no identifiable increases in time-to-trial. In fact, since 2005, the median time-to-trial has dropped by more than 6 months.
Regarding the "Top Ten" Rocket Dockets, the breakdown is as follows, along with the median time-to-trial (in years):
1) ED Virginia - 0.88
2) WD Wisconsin - 0.91
3) CD California - 1.71
4) MD Florida - 1.71
5) ED Texas - 1.79
6) Delaware - 1.89
6) Kansas - 1.89
8) ED Pennsylvania - 1.91
9) SD Texas - 1.99
10) ED Michigan - 2.03
Some notable "Crawler" dockets include Massachusetts (3.76 years) and Connecticut (4.66 years).
The "Top Five" patent-friendly jurisdictions, along with overall success rates, include:
1) MD Florida - 66.7%
2) ED Texas - 54.6%
3) CD California - 51%
4) ED Virginia - 50%
5) WD Wisconsin - 50%
