Last Week in the Federal Circuit (December 14-18): And/or confusion
By: Brian R. Matsui

By: Brian R. Matsui and Seth W. Lloyd

Last Week in the Federal Circuit (November 30-December 4): Appellate Jurisdiction Over Agency Orders

Last Week in the Federal Circuit (November 2-6): Limits on Venue in Hatch-Waxman Cases
By: Eric C. Pai
Last week was argument week at the Federal Circuit, which as usual meant the Court issued several Rule 36 affirmances and short non-precedential decisions. But tucked in between those was at least one case—a Hatch-Waxman case—with important ramifications going forward. Below we provide our

Last Week in the Federal Circuit (October 26-30): Another Texas Mandamus Grant
By: Seth W. Lloyd

By: Brian R. Matsui and Deanne E. Maynard
