The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a ruling on Monday that will sharply limit the places where companies can file patent infringement lawsuits, a move that is expected to have significant implications for Silicon Valley’s technology industry and for Northern California’s federal courts. In a unanimous decision, the court overturned a longstanding precedent that gave patent plaintiffs wide latitude over where they could bring a lawsuit — a dynamic that critics say allowed so-called “patent trolls” to press their cases in friendlier venues.
