You seem to have a much better handle on this than I so maybe you or someone else knows...

How the heck did a company in Canada end up in a courtroom in Tyler, TX? Perhaps some judge shopping going on or is there a logical reason I'm not seeing.

That's something I'd like to know myself. Meanwhile, how can I even trust a company that calls itself “i4i” which reads “Eye For Eye”.

Sorry to say Texan, but over the last six years the Eastern District Court of Texas has grown to be the patent trolling capital of the country due to fast judges and dumb juries. Tyler is one of the three cities where these cases are usually tried.

That area is so popular an owner of a patent who never plans to make anything with it will get with a lawyer, set up a shell company in Tyler or Marshall, assign it the patent, then sue everybody and their mother using the shell company. That way if they lose big-time they have nothing to lose but the fake shell company and the now worthless patent.
