APPEAL NO.
89-1053, 89-1079
OP. BELOW
PATO
SUBJECT
Patent
AUTHOR
Archer

Question(s) Presented

“May the grant of partial summary judgment by the TTAB, which does not result in a disposition of the proceeding before it, be appealed to this court under 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(4)(B) (1982) and 15 U.S.C. § 1071 (1988)?”

Holding

No. “Since the appealed orders did not put an end to the litigation before the Board, Copelands’ appeals are premature. Copelands must await and raise all claims of error in a single appeal.”
