Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released a nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal. This morning, the court released a precedential opinion in a patent case appealed from the District of New Jersey. The Federal Circuit also released two nonprecedential opinions in decisions appealed from the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Finally, the court released two Rule 36 summary affirmances. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the Rule 36 summary affirmances and dismissal.
Mondis Technology Ltd. v. LG Electronics Inc. (Precedential)
This is an appeal from a judgment issued by the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey pursuant to a jury verdict and a subsequent denial of motion for judgment as a matter of law. The jury determined that U.S. Patent No. 7,475,180 was not proven invalid and that LG Electronics Inc. and LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc.’s accused products infringed the patent. Because we hold the ’180 patent is invalid for lack of an adequate written description, we reverse.
Macura v. Office of Personnel Management (Nonprecedential)
Milan Macura appeals pro se a final order of the Merit Systems Protection Board denying his request for an annuity under the Federal Employees Retirement System. We affirm

Seiflein appeals a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans Court”), which affirmed a Board of Veterans’ Appeals’ (“Board”) decision dismissing Mr. Seiflein’s 2016 motion for revision.
