Last Week in the Federal Circuit (September 14-18): A Tale Of Two Mandamus Petitions

By: Seth W. Lloyd

While we’ll all remember last week because of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing, things were relatively quiet at the Federal Circuit. The Court issued just two written decisions in regular cases, two on mandamus petitions, and a handful of Rule 36 affirmances. Below we …›

Last Week in the Federal Circuit (September 7-11): Another Arthrex Follow-on

By: Brian R. Matsui

By: Brian R. Matsui and Seth W. Lloyd

Last week, the Court did not have many precedential decisions as Washington, D.C., COVID‑19 or not, was in its usual August slowdown. Unlike the previous two weeks where we touched upon non-patent issues, we return (kind of, sort of) to patent law. So below …›
