This morning the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion, one nonprecedential opinion, and one nonprecedential order. The precedential opinion dismisses as moot an appeal of a judgment of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The nonprecedential opinion affirms a judgment of the Court of Federal Claims in a veterans case. The order is a dismissal. Here are the introductions to the opinions and a link to the order.
Koss Corporation v. Bose Corporation (Precedential)
Koss Corp. appeals, and Bose Corp. cross-appeals, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s decisions in IPR2021- 00297, IPR2021-00612, and IPR2021-00680, involving Koss Corp.’s wireless earphone patents. Because all the claims in the patents at issue were invalidated in prior district court litigation, we find the appeals moot and dismiss.
Melson v. United States (Nonprecedential)
Dr. Melson sought disability retirement and severance pay benefits in connection with his service in the U.S. Army Reserve (“USAR” or “Army Reserve”) and a correction to his records to reflect a medical discharge for physical disability. He appeals from a decision of the Court of Federal Claims (“Claims Court”) granting the government’s motion for judgment on the administrative record and sustaining the Army Board for Correction of Military Records’ determination that he was not entitled to a discharge for physical disability. We affirm.
