One came in a pro se appeal from a decision of the Court of Federal Claims. The final opinion addressed an appeal from a decision of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The Federal Circuit also released one Rule 36 summary affirmance, three nonprecedential orders dismissing appeals, and one nonprecedential order granting summary affirmance. Here are the introductions to the opinions and order granting summary affirmance, as well as links to the Rule 36 judgment and dismissals.

This morning, the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion, one nonprecedential opinion, and two nonprecedential orders. The precedential opinion concerns the construction of terms of a patent held not to be infringed. The nonprecedential opinion addresses an appeal of a final written decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which held certain claims unpatentable as obvious. One of the orders is a dismissal, and the other denies a petition and additional motions. Here are the introductions to the opinions, selected text from the denial of the petition, and a link to the dismissal.
