Judge Godbey Grants Transfer Motion in Patent Infringement Lawsuit

On April 8, 2014, Judge Godbey issued an Order (available here) in American Leather v. Ultra-Mek that resolved the defendant’s motion to transfer venue. Judge Godbey found that three of the four private interest factors weighed in favor of transfer (the fourth was neutral), and that one of the four public interest factors weighed in favor of transfer (the remaining three were neutral). Because Judge Godbey found that defendant had met its burden to show that the proposed venue would be more clearly more convenient than the current venue, the case would be transferred to the Middle District of North Carolina.
