From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Apple moves to transfer this case to the Northern District of California under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Dkt. 136. Because Apple does not show that the Northern District of California would be clearly more convenient, Apple’s motion is DENIED. DISCUSSION A district court can transfer a case to another district where the case might have been brought for “the convenience of parties and witnesses” and “in the interests of justice.” 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The parties do not dispute that this case could have been brought in the Northern District of California.
