On November 28, 2018, Judge Kinkeade issued an Order (available here) transferring the Bumble v. Match case to the Western District of Texas. Defendant Match sought transfer to the Western District, where Match’s current action against Bumble for patent and trademark infringement was pending. Judge Kinkeade found a likelihood of substantial overlap between the Northern District and Western District cases and accordingly granted the transfer motion.
