Meet The Eastern District Of Texas' New Magistrate Judge

Law360, New York (August 29, 2013, 7:26 PM EDT) -- Magistrate Judge Nicole Mitchell. If you have a patent practice in the Eastern District of Texas and you don't know this name, you should. Magistrate Judge Mitchell just took the bench in Tyler, filling the vacancy left by retiring Judge Judith Guthrie. And while her predecessor did not hear patent cases, Judge Mitchell comes to the bench well versed in patent litigation. If you find yourself appearing before Judge Mitchell, you should know that she has a technical background in genetics, passed the patent bar, and served as a law clerk for Chief Judge Leonard Davis for four years. Be prepared, and expect that she will be, too....
