Patent judgements
Patent applications are initially judged by an examiner at the USPTO. This decision can be appealed to the USPTO's Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences. The next step is to go to the United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit, and the final step, if accepted, would be to go before the United States Supreme Court.[1]
The place for law suits
Most of the world's patent litigation happens in the USA.
Within the USA, a disproportionately large amount of patent litigation takes place in the district of East Texas.[2][3]
