From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

The Board of Regents of the University of Texas Sys- tem (UT) and TissueGen Inc. sued Boston Scientific Corpo- ration (BSC) for patent infringement in the Western District of Texas. The district court determined that venue was improper and transferred the case to the District of Delaware. UT, acting as an arm of the State of Texas, ap- peals the district court’s transfer order on several grounds relating to its rights as a sovereign entity.
