Data Shows Texas Remains Center of Patent Litigation Universe

Texas’ reputation as the nation’s top venue for patent disputes hasn’t faded, according to a new report from Lex Machina that shows a remarkable 40.4 percent of all patent litigation in the country from 2023 through 2025 was adjudicated in the state.

The data shows three of the state’s four districts are among the busiest in the country. Predictably, the Eastern District of Texas took the top overall spot, followed by the Western District of Texas, while the Northern District of Texas ranked as the ninth busiest district in the country for patent cases.
