This page collects nonprecedential Federal Circuit dispositions in IP cases decided during April 2026 that do not include a substantive opinion. These are Rule 36 summary affirmances, procedural orders (motions to transfer, stay, dismiss, or extend time), and errata corrections to earlier rulings. Because there is no written opinion, there is no holding to summarize — the case record itself is the only authority.
Quick primer on what these are:
- Rule 36 judgment — under Federal Circuit Rule 36, the court affirms the lower tribunal’s decision without issuing an opinion. The affirmance ends the appeal but has no precedential value and creates no binding law.
- Order — a procedural ruling on a motion (for example, a motion to stay, to transfer, to dismiss voluntarily, or to extend a deadline).
- Errata — a correction to a previously issued order or opinion.
