OP. BELOW
DCT
SUBJECT
Patent
AUTHOR
Cunningham

Question(s) Presented

  1. “Whether a panel of this Court may hold that this Court lacks jurisdiction over matters within the ‘collateral order doctrine’ in direct conflict with the Richardson-Merrell and DePuy Synthes opinions of the Supreme Court and this Court (cited above).”
  2. “Whether an in-house counsel may be deemed a competitive decisionmaker where the court determined that parties are not competitors and whether that finding may be used as a basis to deny in-house counsel’s access to confidential documents in direct conflict with U.S. Steel Corp. v. United States, 730 F.2d 1465 (Fed. Cir. 1984).”
  3. “Whether a district court’s standing ‘standard protective order’ that applies to all cases in the district violates Federal Circuit and Tenth Circuit precedent regarding access to information by in-house counsel through a blanket restriction prohibiting all in-house counsel from receiving various types of information based solely on ‘in-house’ status.”
