abstract
  • In 1982, Congress created the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Fed. Cir.) The Federal Circuit was created through the merging of two specialized courts of limited subject matter but nationwide jurisdiction — the U.S. Court of Claims and the U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals (C.C.P.A.). The Federal Circuit has exclusive jurisdiction of all appeals from final district court decisions in civil actions "arising under any Act of Congress relating to patents." The Federal Circuit was a bipartisan efforts to increase patent law uniformity. Congress created the Federal Circuit As Judge Newman observed, creation of the Federal Circuit was "a dramatic move for the purpose of adding stability to the patent law." Prior to creation of the Federal Circuit, in the most extreme cases, "different courts dealing with the same patent reached different conclusions." At the time, not all agreed that circuit splits required creation of the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit was to provide clearer and more consistent application of patent law, which in turn would increase the predictability of patents and, thus, their value as means to promote innovation. Most commentators find that, as a general matter, the Federal Circuit strengthened patent rights significantly, upholding patent validity more frequently than in the anti-patent era of the 1930s to the 1970s.
