I think it's worth clarifying that the "corporations reside only in their state of incorporation" slide at 6:59 is only true for patent claims. For all other claims, it's state of incorporation and principal place of business. 2017's TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC only applies to patent.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Yes, the "state of incorporation only" rule for residence for purposes of venue applies to patent infringement cases only. I should reword that last paragraph. Residence for purposes of venue for any business entity would be where it is subject to personal jurisdiction. For corporations this means state of incorporation and PPB. Thank you for the heads up!
@@arielhu4569 Yes, for Venue to be proper, the state must have PJ over the D. This means the court in that state has the legal authority to adjudicate a case against D based on D's connection to the state.

I am not a lawyer and I have subscribed just because I think I’m a lawyer now after this detailed lesson 😂

So in order for venue to be proper, the state first has to have PJ over the defendant, right? unless PJ is consented or waived?
