You wouldn't expect that one of the busiest courts for patent law lies in the Piney Woods of the Eastern District of Texas, where for the past decade or so Judge T. John Ward has presided. Ward, 68, announced his retirement in order to sign up as the sixth lawyer at his son's firm, Ward & Smith Law Firm of Longview, Texas, a town of 81,000 hugging Route 20, between Dallas and Shreveport, La.
