ABSTRACT: Last August, it was reported here that "the nation's dependence on technological innovation has pushed the once-obscure U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit center stage."

It also noted that the Supreme Court rarely second-guesses the Federal Circuit. SUGGESTED CITATION: Thomas G.
