This morning, the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion, two nonprecedential opinions, and one nonprecedential order. The precedential opinion comes in a veterans case appealed from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. One of the nonprecedential opinions comes in a patent case appealed from Northern District of California, and the other comes in response to a petition to review a decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board. The nonprecedential order denies a petition for writ of mandamus to the Eastern District of Texas seeking to stay a patent case. Here are the introductions to the opinions and the order.
