United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit
Chicago-Kent played host to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit during the week of November 7, 2005. The court is
most widely known for its role in intellectual property: the Federal
Circuit has jurisdiction to hear all cases across the United States
that arise in whole or in part under the U.S. patent laws. The court
came to Chicago in response to an invitation from a number of Chicago-based
groups, including the Chicago
Intellectual Property Alliance (of which Chicago-Kent is a founding
member) and the Intellectual Property Alliance of Chicago.
