Here’s what you need to know about that case.

One case that attracted an amicus brief will be argued in August at the Federal Circuit. That case is Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson v. Lenovo (United States) Inc., in which the Federal Circuit will review a district court’s order denying an antisuit injunction. This is our argument preview.

Two transfer cases to district courts, one transfers a case to another federal appellate court, and another remands a case to the Court of International Trade. The fifth order dismisses an appeal. Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released three nonprecedential orders, each dismissing an appeal. Here are the introductions to the transfer and remand orders and links to the dismissals.
