This morning, the Federal Circuit released one precedential and one nonprecedential opinion. The precedential opinion comes in a veterans case appealed from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The nonprecedential opinion comes in a patent case appealed from the Eastern District of New York. Here are the introductions to the opinions.
Loomis v. Collins (Precedential)
Charles Loomis served in the United States Air Force for 20 years. Upon his retirement from the service in February 2015, he needed a pilot certification for a job as a sensor operator. When he sought to cover the cost of a flight training class with educational assistance benefits, his application was denied by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the denial was upheld on appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.
On appeal, Mr. Loomis challenges that court’s interpretation of two statutes and their associated regulations. We affirm.
Biofer S.P.A. v. Vifor (International) AG (Nonprecedential)
Biofer S.p.A. appeals a judgment of non-infringement entered by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On appeal, Biofer challenges the claim construction on which the judgment rests. For the reasons stated below, we affirm.
