Opinions

This morning the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion along with five nonprecedential orders. The opinion comes in a patent case appealed from a district court and addresses the definiteness requirement. One of the orders denies a petition, one transfers an appeal, and three dismiss appeals. Here are the introductions to the opinion and first order along with links to the other orders.

Taylor v. People of the Venue of the Foreign United States (Nonprecedential Order)

On March 9, 2026, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed Eric Emanuel Taylor’s complaint alleging, among other things, the “government’s perpetration of tort,” Compl. at 1. On March 23, 2026, this court received Mr. Taylor’s “petit[i]on for appeal by permission,” which also includes a request for this court to transfer the appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. ECF No. 2-1 at 1, 3. We deny the petition but treat the submission as a timely notice of appeal and direct the parties to show cause whether this court has jurisdiction.
