Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released a nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal. This morning, the court released one precedential order, three nonprecedential opinions, four nonprecedential orders, and an errata. The precedential order comes in a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to order the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to vacate an order deinstituting an inter partes review proceeding. Two of the orders deny similar petitions of writs of mandamus. All three nonprecedential opinions come in pro se appeals, two from the Merit Systems Protection Board and one from the Court of Federal Claims. The remaining two orders dismiss appeals. Here are introductions to the opinions and links to the orders and the errata.
