I agree. I, for one, am tired of seeing this nonsense that the jury pool in that district has a high-level knowledge and experience with matters pertaining to patents.

Patent trolls want that district because that's where they win the most. It's similar as to why they avoid certain districts, because that's where they lose the most.

If another district had the reverse stats, where a large number of patent suits are filed but patent trolls lose 80% of the time, you would have a district that had a "high knowledge base" in the jury pool. Patent trolls would avoid it like the plaque, despite having such a supposed intelligent jury pool.
