H&R Block, Inc. vs Block (https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/block-inc-can-keep-using-name-in-trademark-spat-with-h-r-block)
- This article describes the decision as "split Eighth Circuit reversed." There is a difference between a split circuit, which refers to a split among the judges on the court who participate in a decision, and a circuit split, which refers to district court circuits holding inconsistent views of laws.

- Then Western Texas
- And now Delaware
- The reason for these shifts is related to jurisdiction and the Supreme Court
