There are three cases that will be argued this month at the Federal Circuit that attracted amicus briefs. Last week we reported on two of these cases. The third is AliveCor, Inc. v. International Trade Commision. In this case, the Federal Circuit will review a judgment of the International Trade Commission in a patent infringement dispute between AliveCor, Inc. and Apple Inc. On the one hand, the Commission found that certain patent claims asserted by AliveCor are invalid under under 35 U.S.C. § 101 and that certain claims are not infringed by Apple. The Commission also found that other claims are not invalid and are infringed. Both AliveCor and Apple appealed. This is our argument preview.

As we mentioned on Monday, three cases that will be argued in July at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of those cases is AliveCor, Inc. v. Apple Inc., a patent case. In it, the Federal Circuit will review a judgment of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which held several of AliveCor’s patents to be invalid for obviousness. This is our argument preview.

Three cases that will be argued in July at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of those cases is Metropolitan Area EMS Authority v. Secretary of Veterans Affairs. In this case, the Federal Circuit will review a final rule passed by the Department of Veterans Affairs that would enable VA to pay the lesser of the actual charge or the Medicare fee schedule (MFS) amount for non-contract ground and air ambulance transports. This is our argument preview.

As we explained earlier this week, two cases that will be argued in June at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. The second of those cases is Bureau National Interprofessionnel Du Cognac v. Cologne & Cognac Entertainment. In this case, the Federal Circuit will review a judgment of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, which dismissed an opposition against Cologne & Cognac Entertainment’s mark. This is our argument preview.

Two cases that will be argued in June at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of those cases is Freund v. McDonough. In this case, the Federal Circuit will review a judgment of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, which dismissed the case as moot and denied Freund’s request for class action and class certification. This is our argument preview.

As we highlighted yesterday, two cases being argued in May at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of these cases is ACLR, LLC v. United States, a government contract case. In this case, the Federal Circuit will review a judgment of the Court of Federal Claims, which granted the government’s motion for summary judgment. This is our argument preview.

Two cases being argued in May at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of these cases is Regents of the University of California v. Broad Institute, Inc. In this case, the Federal Circuit will review a judgment of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in an interference proceeding concerning competing patent applications related to the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing system. This is our argument preview.

As we’ve been highlighting, four cases being argued in April at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of these cases is Crocs, Inc. v. Effervescent, Inc. In this case, the Federal Circuit will review a determination by a judge in the District of Colorado to grant a motion for summary judgment dismissing a claim of false advertising under the Lanham Act. This is our argument preview.

As we have been reporting, four cases being argued in April at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of these cases is Amarin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. In this patent case, the Federal Circuit will review a determination by a judge in the District of Delaware to grant Hikma’s motion to dismiss Amarin’s inducement claims under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. This is our argument preview.

Four cases being argued in April at the Federal Circuit attracted amicus briefs. One of these cases is Textron Aviation Defense LLC v. United States. In it, the Federal Circuit will review a judgment by the Court of Federal Claims, which granted the government’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, or in the alternative for summary judgment, in a government contract case. This is our argument preview.
