Last week, RPX reported that Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly of the District of Delaware had posted several new standing orders—a pair of which sharply shifts disclosure requirements in the second most popular district for patent litigation in the US, at least for cases assigned to Judge Connolly. A first such standing order requires litigants to disclose certain details related to nonrecourse funding arrangements with third parties, while a second requires all “nongovernmental joint ventures, limited liability corporations, partnerships or limited liability partnerships” to include in disclosure statements “the name of every owner, member and partner of the party, proceeding up the chain of ownership until the name of every individual and corporation with a direct or indirect interest in the party has been identified”.
