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

• a blog post about “requirements for transparency regarding litigation funding and company and/or patent ownership” in the District of Delaware;
• an article about overcoming dismissals under Section 101 of the Patent Act; and
• another article about the Federal Circuit’s decision “reject[ing] a tech company’s bid to transfer a patent case it is facing out of . . . Waco.”

This morning the Federal Circuit released two precedential opinions. The first opinion comes in a takings case appealed from the Court of Federal Claims. In its opinion, the Federal Circuit affirms the Court of Federal Claims’s determination on liability, vacates its judgment as to compensation and interest, and remands the case. The second opinion comes in a patent case appealed from the Northern District of California. In its opinion, the Federal Circuit reverses the district court’s grant of a motion to dismiss for lack of eligibility and remands the case. Here are the introductions to the opinions.
