A Blog About Intellectual Property Litigation and the District of Delaware


Following the Court's announcement of a transition plan last week, the Court issued an implementing standing order on Wednesday, and today we saw a wave of reassignments from Judge Stark cases—all to Judge Andrews.

A number of cases were re-assigned, including:

  • American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. v. Neapco Holdings LLC, C.A. No. 15-1168 (D. Del.)
  • Future Link Systems, LLC v. Amlogic Holdings, Ltd., C.A. No. 21-634 (D. Del.)
  • Finjan LLC v. Trustwave Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 20-371 (D. Del.)
  • Celanese International Corporation v. Anhui Jinhe Industrial Co., Ltd., C.A. No. 20-1775 (D. Del.)

In each case, Judge Andrews ordered the parties to produce a status report within one week.

I see no obvious pattern among the cases reassigned so far. The schedules and case status vary widely, including one case that just got a scheduling order in January, and another that is six years old and currently on appeal (American Axle). The cases also cover a range of subject matters.

There are still cases that haven't been re-assigned, so we'll plan to update this post if there are further developments over the next few days.
