`
`Defendant Google LLC (“Google”) hereby provides notice of the recent Federal Circuit
`
`decision, In re: Google LLC, Case No. 2022-140, 2022 WL 1613192 (Fed. Cir. May 23, 2022)
`
`(hereinafter “Jn re Google’’), attached as Exhibit A. Jn re Google was decided on May 23, 2022,
`
`after completion of briefing on Google’s pending Opposed Motion to Transfer (hereinafter
`
`“Google’s Motion to Transfer’). See Dkt. 24.
`
`In re Google is particularly relevant to Google’s Motion to Transfer. Specifically, in In re
`
`Google the Federal Circuit analyzed arguments and evidence regarding the conveniencefactors
`
`under Fifth Circuit law and 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) in relation to Google’s (and other parties’)
`
`request to transfer venue to the Northern District of California. In re Google, at *2—5. In
`
`analyzing the public and private interest factors, the Federal Circuit ordered the case transferred
`
`to the NDCA.Jd.at *5.
`
`Although Jn re Google is non-precedential,
`
`it
`
`is instructive regarding the proper
`
`evaluation and weighting of the varioustransfer factors in this case. Google respectfully requests
`
`the Court take notice of and consider Jn re Google in deciding Google’s Motion to Transfer.
