Question presented

Whether the Federal Circuit’s issuance of Rule 36 judgments without opinions for the disposition of appeals from the Patent and Trademark Office violates 35 U.S.C. §144’s requirement that the Federal Circuit “shall issue” its “mandate and opinion” for such appeals. The question is identical to that presented by the pending Petitions for writ of certiorari in Celgard, LLC v. Lancu (No. 16-1526) (question #2); C-Cation Tech., LLC v. Arris Group, Inc., et al. (No. 17-617) (question #2); Integrated Claims Sys., LLC v. Travelers Lloyds of Texas Ins. Co., et al. (No. 17-330) (question #2); and Stambler v. Mastercard International Inc. (No. 17- 1140) (question #2).
