Here is a report on recent news and commentary related to the Federal Circuit and its cases. Today’s report highlights:

• an article highlighting how the Federal Circuit recently “vacated a decision axing a[] . . . drug patent based on an argument not presented at trial and chastised the federal judge in Delaware who issued it”;
• an article discussing how the Federal Circuit “reverse[d], in whole or in part, the PTAB only about 20% of the time” in July;
• an article explaining that in a recent opinion, the Federal Circuit “affirmed a district court’s decision to grant a motion to dismiss a patent infringement case . . . due to patent ineligibility” of “image tagging patents”; and
• a blog post explaining that the “Federal Circuit is set to hear oral arguments in . . . a case that could significantly impact Orange Book patent listing (and delisting) practices under the Hatch-Waxman Act.”

This morning the Federal Circuit released one nonprecedential opinion and three nonprecedential orders. The nonprecedential opinion comes in a patent case. Two of the nonprecedential orders transfer cases, while the third nonprecedential order is a dismissal. Here are the introductions to the opinion and the orders other than the dismissal, which we link.
