Today the Federal Circuit issued two nonprecedential opinions in patent cases. Here are the introductions to the opinions.
Uniloc USA, Inc. v. HTC America, Inc. (Nonprecedential)
Uniloc USA, Inc. and Uniloc Luxembourg S.A. appeal the dismissal of an infringement action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Uniloc USA, Inc. v. HTC America, Inc., No. C17-1558JLR, 2018 WL 3008870, at *1 (W.D. Wash. June 15, 2018). After Uniloc filed its appeal, HTC became aware of material suggesting multiple jurisdictional defects. Because this material is outside the record, we remand for the district court to supplement the record, determine whether Uniloc has standing in the first instance, and, if appropriate, cure any jurisdictional defects.
Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Apple Inc. (Nonprecedential)
Uniloc USA, Inc. and Uniloc Luxembourg S.A. appeal a final judgment on the pleadings in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California holding the claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,661,203 ineligible. Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Apple Inc., No. C 18-00358 WHA, 2018 WL 2287675, at *1 (N.D. Cal. May 18, 2018). After Uniloc filed the appeal, Apple, Inc., uncovered material suggesting multiple jurisdictional defects. Because this material is outside the record, we remand for the district court to supplement the record, determine whether Uniloc has standing in the first instance, and, if appropriate, cure any jurisdictional defects.
