Background:

As one of only two Article III federal appellate courts with national jurisdiction, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit adjudicates appeals from federal trial courts and federal agencies around the country in a variety of subject areas, including patents and trademarks, international trade, monetary claims against the United States government, federal personnel decisions, veterans’ benefits, and government contract disputes.

The swift and accurate resolution of these appeals provides surety and confidence to the private industry in inventing new pharmaceuticals or technological advancements, to importers and exporters of goods and products, to veterans seeking proper medical benefits, and to people entitled to compensation when wronged by the United States government.
