Question(s) Presented

“The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) sets forth standards governing judicial review of findings of fact made by federal administrative agencies. 5 U.S.C. § 706. We must decide whether § 706 applies when the Federal Circuit reviews findings of fact made by the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO).”

Holding

“We conclude that it does apply, and the Federal Circuit must use the framework set forth in that section.”
