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.

This is a patent infringement case involving Defendants from all over the country, including Texas. Defendants, led by their indemnitor PLX Technology, Inc., move to transfer to the Northern District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). After limited venue discovery, Plaintiff has shown that much of the evidence would be more conveniently accessed from this district, and, likewise, trial would be more convenient in this district for many of the relevant witnesses. For the reasons stated below, Defendants’ motion to transfer venue is denied.
