This morning, the Federal Circuit released three nonprecedential opinions. One addresses an appeal from a judgment of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Another addresses an appeal from a district court judgment and accompanying order in a patent case mandating the correction of inventorship of several patents. The third addresses an appeal from a final written decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which held that certain claims had not been shown to be unpatentable as obvious in view of asserted prior art. Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit also released one dismissal. Here are the introductions to the opinions and link to the dismissal.
