This morning, the Federal Circuit released four nonprecedential opinions and five Rule 36 judgments. Three of the opinions come in appeals from the Patent and Trademark Office involving the same parties involved in inter partes review proceedings. The fourth opinion comes in an appeal from a decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the Rule 36 judgments.
