The attorneys in Widevine v. Verimatrix, 2:07cv321, a patent case pending before Judge T. John Ward in Marshall got a bit of a surprise today when Judge Ward reset this case (currently set for jury selection in February 2010) for jury selection two months later in April and reassigned the case to one Randall Rader.
Judge Rader, of course, has been serving on the Federal Circuit since 1990, and will be next in line for chief judge when Judge Michel steps down effective May 31, 2010.
