More Information
Summary:The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is unique among the thirteen US Circuit Courts of Appeals. An Article III federal appellate court, the Federal Circuit was created in 1982 by a merger of the US Court of Customs and Patent Appeals and the appellate division of the US Court of Claims. As a result of this merger, the Federal Circuit retained the jurisdiction formerly vested in those courts and also gained exclusive, nationwide jurisdiction to hear appeals of final and interlocutory decisions arising out of specific types of cases. The Federal Circuit may hear matters concerning, inter alia, interlocutory and final decisions involving "international trade, government contracts, patents, certain money claims against the United States government, federal personnel, veterans' benefits, and public safety officers' benefits claims." With respect to international trade cases, the Federal Circuit has exclusive jurisdiction for appeals of the interlocutory and final decisions of the US Court of International Trade.
