Maurice, I pointed out that I believe Ericy chose Marshall because it is about an hour and a half drive outside of Sprint territory. No one there will be familiar with cdma systems versus the others. Marshall is at the eastern edge of the Eastern District of Texas. The only basis for jurisdiction is that the Eastern District of Texas covers Plano and other areas near Dallas, where Sprint does have coverage.

It is highly unlikely that out in Marshall one is going to find a jury that will understand the issues at hand and will tend to make judgements based on the superficial issues of presentation and dress. I might add that it is highly unlikely that you are going to find a jury anywhere that understands the issues at hand. A bigger question is whether either side is requesting a jury trial. If I had to guess based on the patents I've seen so far, Ericsson is likely to request a jury - but does anyone really know? Clark PS Hopefully even if Ericsson does request a jury, the judge will have already reigned in much of Ericsson's trickery in the Markman by limiting their patent claims substantially.
