Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released four nonprecedential orders. One grants a motion to remand in a patent case appealed from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, two dismiss appeals, and one dismisses a petition. This morning, the Court released one precedential opinion, two nonprecedential opinions, and four additional nonprecedential orders. The precedential opinion comes in a veterans case appealed from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. One of the nonprecedential opinions comes in a tax case appealed from the Court of Federal Claims, and the other comes in a veterans case appealed from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Of the nonprecedential orders, one summarily affirms a case appealed from the Court of Federal Claims, two dismiss appeals, and one dismisses a petition. Here are the introductions to the opinions and the orders other than the dismissals, as well as links to the dismissals.

Recently the Federal Circuit issued its opinion in Ollnova Technologies, Ltd. v. Ecobee Technologies ULC, a patent case we have been following because it attracted an amicus brief. In this case, the patent owner, Ollnova, appeals a district court’s denial of requested prejudgment interest, and the accused infringer, Ecobee, cross-appeals the district court’s decisions on jury instructions and multiple issues including eligibility, infringement, damages, and marking. In an opinion authored by Judge Chen and joined by Judges Cunningham and Stark, the panel affirmed-in-part, dismissed-in-part, vacated the judgment, and remanded the case. This is our summary of the opinion.
