New Petitions
Since our last update, two new petitions have been filed in cases decided by the Federal Circuit:
Federal Express Corp. v. Qualcomm Inc.
In this case, Federal Express filed a petition asking the Court to review the following question:
- “Does 35 U.S.C. § 314(d) bar judicial review of the Patent Office’s refusal to determine whether a petition identifies all real parties in interest when § 312(a)(2) authorizes the Office to consider petitions ‘only if’ they identify ‘all’ such parties?”
Caldwell v. United States
In this pro se case, Caldwell filed a petition asking the Court to review three questions.
Waiver of the Right to Respond
Since our last update, one waiver of the right to respond to a petition was filed in Yomi v. Merit Systems Protection Board, a pro se case.
