Businesses and individuals filed a record 851 patent infringement lawsuits in November - more than half of them in the federal courts of East Texas - just before new judicial rules took effect that may make it more difficult for their cases to succeed.

That represents 32 percent more infringement lawsuits than ever filed in a single month in any federal judicial district in U.S. history, according to legal-research provider Lex Machina.
