Transfer to forum where related litigation is ongoing granted
Cashedge, Inc. v. Yodlee, Inc., No. 06-170-JJF, July 19, 2006.
Farnan, J. Defendant’s motion to transfer to California where there is prior litigation over related technologies, although different patents, is granted.
The technology relates to data extraction, retrieval, and presentation through Internet technologies, such as web sites and web pages. Both parties are Delaware corporations with operations outside Delaware. They both have offices in California where an action is pending relating to the same technology albeit different patents, some of which are prior art to the patent in the Delaware action. Jumara factors other than plaintiff’s choice of forum weigh in favor of transfer.
