Take The Gamble

Nevada IP holding company Patent Rights sued "out-of-state gaming companies" on its home turf, for infringing 6,475,087 and 6,860,814, which claim "casino-style gaming machines." The Nevada courts dismissed the cases for lack of personal jurisdiction, and "denied Patent Rights' request for jurisdictional discovery." Vacating and remanding, the CAFC told the Nevada court to take it on. (CAFC 2009-1391, precedential)
