Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released a nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal in a patent case. This morning, the court released three nonprecedential opinions. Two come in patent cases appealed from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board and the Eastern District of Louisiana, while one comes in an antidumping case appealed from the Court of International Trade. Here are the introductions to the opinions, along with a link to the dismissal.
DexCom, Inc. v. Stewart (Nonprecedential)
Patent owner DexCom, Inc. (“DexCom”) appeals from a final written decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) in an inter partes review (“IPR”) initiated by Appellee Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. (“Abbott”). In its decision, the Board concluded that Claims 1–3 and 11–13 of U.S. Patent No. 10,792,193 (“the ’193 patent”) were unpatentable as obvious over prior art of record. For the reasons below, we affirm.
Repwire LLC v. United States (Nonprecedential)
Appellants Repwire LLC and Jin Tiong Electrical Materials Manufacturer PTE. Ltd. appeal the judgment of the U.S. Court of International Trade sustaining determinations reached by the U.S. Department of Commerce in an annual administrative review of an antidumping duty order covering U.S. imports of certain aluminum wire and cable from the People’s Republic of China. The principal issue Appellants raise involves Commerce’s use of various procedures and agency practices in antidumping duty matters involving non-market economies, such as China. We affirm the Trade Court’s judgment.
Wilco Marsh Buggies and Draglines, Inc. v. Weeks Marine, Inc. (Nonprecedential)
Wilco Marsh Buggies and Draglines, Inc. (“Wilco”) sued Weeks Marine, Inc. (“Weeks”) in the Eastern District of Louisiana, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,918,801 (“’801 patent”). The district court granted summary judgment that the asserted claims of the ʼ801 patent are invalid as anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102. We affirm.
