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.

Before the Court is Defendant Little Kids, Inc.’s (“Little Kids”) Motion to Transfer Venue. (Dkt. No. 7.) The C ourt, having considered the venue motion and the arguments of counsel, GRANTS the motion to transfer venue for Defendant to the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The balance of the private and p ublic factors demonstrates that the transferee venue is “clearly more convenient” than the venue chosen by Plaintiff Promote Innovation LLC (“Promote”) .
