    TATUNG CO., et al.,

    Defendants.

    12
    This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Tatung Company and Tatung Company of
    13
    America, Inc.’s motion for a protective order limiting the scope of a third-party deposition and
    14
    subpoena and request for an expedited hearing. (Dkt. No. 1).
    15

    16
    third-party Amazon.com in connection with a patent infringement lawsuit pending in the United
    17
    States District Court for the District of Delaware. Defendants filed a motion for protective order

    19
    dispute to the District of Delaware.. (Dkt. No. 3 at 6-7). In their Reply, Defendants state that they do
    20
    not oppose the transfer. (Dkt. No. 5 at 3).
    21
    The Court has the authority to transfer this matter to the court where the main action is
    22
    pending. See In re Digital Equipment Corp., 949 F.2d 228, 231 (8th Cir. 1991); Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)
    23
    advisory committee’s note (“The court in the district where the deposition is being taken may, and
    24
    frequently will, remit the deponent or party to the court where the action is pending.”). Because the
    25
    Delaware Court is in a better position to evaluate this dispute in light of the history of the discovery
    26
    disputes between these parties and the facts at issue in the main case, and because neither party
