Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released three nonprecedential orders. As we separately noted, in one of these orders the en banc Federal Circuit stayed the Court of International Trade’s injunctions of President Trump’s tariffs. In yesterday’s other two nonprecedential orders, the court dismissed appeals. This morning, the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion and one nonprecedential opinion. The precedential opinion comes in a patent case, in which the court affirmed two final written decisions of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. In the nonprecedential opinion, the court dismissed a case appealed from the Merit Systems Protection Board. Here are the introductions to the opinions and orders (other than yesterday’s en banc order, which can be found here) and links to the dismissals.

This morning the Federal Circuit released a precedential opinion in a patent case appealed from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. In it, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Board’s judgment in an interference proceeding. The Federal Circuit also released a nonprecedential opinion in another patent case appealed from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Notably, both patent cases involve the same parties. Finally, the Federal Circuit released three nonprecedential orders dismissing appeals. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the dismissals.

This morning the Federal Circuit issued a precedential order granting a petition for initial hearing en banc in a veterans case, one precedential order denying a motion to vacate and remand in light of Arthrex, one nonprecedential order unsealing a nonprecedential opinion in a patent case, the nonprecedential opinion in the patent case, another nonprecedential opinion in a case appealed from the Court of Federal Claims, and another nonprecedential opinion in a patent case. Here is text from the orders and the introductions to the opinions.
