  • 1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT of MINNESOTA Shirley
    CASE 0:10-cv-01821-JNE-JJK Document 65 Filed 04/05/11 Page 1 of 5 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA Shirley Venus Shannon, Plaintiff, v. Civil No. 10-1821 (JNE/JJK) ORDER Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Hospira, Inc., and Abbott Laboratories, Inc., Defendants. In April 2010, Shirley Venus Shannon brought this action against Eli Lilly & Company and several unidentified entities. In October 2010, she filed an Amended Complaint against Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Hospira, Inc., and Abbott Laboratories, Inc. Abbott Laboratories and Hospira moved to dismiss the case for improper venue, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(3); moved to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6); and moved to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, see 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) (2006). After answering, Baxter Healthcare joined the motions of Abbott Laboratories and Hospira. Baxter Healthcare did not separately submit memoranda of law. Shannon opposed the motions, but she asserted that the case should be transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, Western Division. For the reasons set forth below, the Court transfers this action to the Western District of Tennessee. The Court first considers whether this case should be dismissed for improper venue. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(3). The defendant bears the burden of establishing improper venue. United States v. Orshek, 164 F.2d 741, 742 (8th Cir.

The “written description” must be “in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same.” Ibid. “The object of the statute is to require the patentee to describe his invention so that others may construct and use it after the expiration of the patent.” Schriber-Schroth Co. v.
