For Immediate Release

ST. LOUIS/EWORLDWIRE/Aug. 3, 2007 --- A new study by LegalMetric revealed the five fastest patent districts (measured in terms of average time to judgment) to be the Eastern District of Virginia, the Central District of California, the Middle District of Florida, the Western District of Wisconsin, and the Western District of Washington. Courts with fewer than 30 cases terminated by judgments (either in favor of the patentee or the accused infringer) were not considered. The Eastern District of Texas does not come close to making the top five (it ranks 18th). LegalMetric has prepared an in-depth comparison of these five fastest districts (and divisions within those districts). With this Top 5 Report, attorneys and clients can rationally plan their litigation and choose the best of these districts for their cases.

The Top 5 Patent Reports show at a glance which districts have favorable patentee win rates, and which do not. More than 40 easy-to-read charts show which courts are more likely to have trials in patent cases, and much more. A section on transfer motions gives you real information about how likely the various courts are to transfer cases to another district.

Comparisons of divisions within the districts include percentage of cases filed by division, case win rates by division, appeal affirmance rates by division, and average time to termination on the merits by division.

This Top 5 Report is an invaluable tool for marketing a firm's services and managing attorneyclient expectations. The Top 5 Patent Districts Report is offered as an annual edition on the five fastest districts and is now available for an investment of $1895.00. In addition to the Top 5 Fastest, LegalMetric now offers patent reports on the Top 5 Most Popular, Top 5 Best Contested Win Rate, Top 5 Worst Contested Win Rate and Top 5 Slowest Districts.

When ordering all five Top 5 Reports (Top 5 Patent Pack), the price is reduced from $9475.00 to $7500.00.
