Order Granting Motion to Transfer in Favor of First-Filed Case

Interactive Communications International, Inc. et al. v. Travel Tags Inc., 1:09-cv-01720 (N.D. Ga. Feb. 9, 2010) (Thrash, J.)


Judge Thrash granted the Defendant’s motion to transfer this declaratory action to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota for consolidation with the Defendant’s first-filed suit for patent infringement. The Court found that it was not in the interests of justice for two nearly identical lawsuits to proceed before two different courts at the same time and deferred to the Minnesota court’s decision that these related cases should be heard in that court.
