of diverse subject areas, such as appeals in all patent cases,
all government contract cases, all international trade cases,
all government personnel cases, all cases involving monetary
claims against the United States under the Tucker Acts, Veterans cases, and many others. Additional subject areas have
been added to this Court’s jurisdiction almost yearly. To keep
abreast of its varied and growing jurisdiction, the court is
requesting necessary increases in its funding as detailed
below.
The following is a more complete listing of the Federal
Circuit’s exclusive jurisdiction. It hears appeals from: (A) final

decisions of all Federal district courts in cases arising under
28 U.S.C. § 1338(a), relating to patent laws generally, 35
U.S.C. § § 145–146, relating to review of decisions of the Patent and Trademark Office, Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2), relating to Little Tucker Act
claims against the United States, and section 211 of the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970, section 5 of the Emergency
Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973, section 506(c) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, and section 523 of the Energy
Policy and Conservation Act, relating to all statutes formerly
under the jurisdiction of the Temporary Emergency Court
of Appeals; (B) final decisions of the United States Court
of International Trade, 28 U.S.C. § 2645(c); (C) final decisions
of the United States Court of Veterans Appeals, 38 U.S.C.
§ 7292; (D) final decisions of the United States Court of Federal Claims, 28 U.S.C. § 2522 and 42 U.S.C. § § 300aa–12(f);
(E) final decisions of the High Court of the Trust Territory
of the Pacific Islands, 48 U.S.C. § 1681 note (1988) (Compact
of Free Association; Federated States of Micronesia, Republic
of Marshall Islands, TITLE II, Title One, Article VII, § 174(c));
(F) final determinations of the United States International
Trade Commission relating to unfair practices in import trade
made under 19 U.S.C. § 1337; (G) findings of the Secretary
of Commerce under U.S. note 6 to subchapter X of chapter
98 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
relating to importation of educational or scientific instruments
and apparatus; (H) final orders or decisions of the Merit Systems Protection Board and certain arbitrators, 5 U.S.C.
§ 7703; (I) final decisions of the General Accounting Office
Personnel Appeals Board, 31 U.S.C. § 755; (J) final decisions
of all agency Boards of Contract Appeals, 41 U.S.C. § 607(g);
(K) final decisions of the Patent and Trademark Office tribunals on patent applications and interferences, trademark applications and interferences, cancellations, concurrent use proceedings, and oppositions, 35 U.S.C. § 142, 15 U.S.C. § 1071,
37 CFR § § 1.304, 2.145; (L) appeals under section 71 of the
Plant Variety Protection Act of 1970, 7 U.S.C. § 2461; (M)
certain actions of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, 38 U.S.C.
§ 502; (N) certain final orders of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission relating to certain Presidential appointees, 2 U.S.C. § 1219(a)(3) and 28 U.S.C. § 2344; (O) final
decisions of the Office of Personnel Management under 5
U.S.C. § 8902a(g)(2); (P) certain actions of the Board of Directors of the Office of Compliance of the U.S. Congress under
2 U.S.C. § 1407(a); and (Q) final decisions of certain agencies
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1296. (This is a new section of T.28
established by the Presidential and Executive Office Accountability Act of 1996, P.L. 104–331.)
The Federal Circuit also has exclusive jurisdiction pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(c) of: (1) appealable interlocutory orders
or decrees in cases where the court would otherwise have
jurisdiction over an appeal; and (2) appeals from judgments
in civil actions for patent infringement otherwise appealable
to the court and final except for accounting. Under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1292(d), the court has: (1) exclusive jurisdiction of appeals from interlocutory orders granting or denying, in whole or in part, a motion to transfer an action to
the Court of Federal Claims; and (2) may, in its discretion,
permit an appeal from an interlocutory order of a judge who
certifies that there is a controlling question of law and a
substantial ground for difference of opinion thereon, and that
an immediate appeal may materially advance the ultimate
termination of the litigation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C.
§ 7292(b)(1), the court has exclusive jurisdiction of certain
interlocutory orders of the Court of Veterans Appeals.

Judiciary to help meet the increased demands for judicial
activities resulting from the act, including drug testing of
Federal offenders on post-conviction release. Beginning in
2000, the Budget proposes to transfer the Judiciary’s portion
of the fund directly to Courts of Appeals, District courts,

be transferred between such appropriations, but no such appropriation, except ‘‘Courts of Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial
Services, Defender Services’’ and ‘‘Courts of Appeals, District Courts,
and Other Judicial Services, Fees of Jurors and Commissioners’’,
shall be increased by more than 10 percent by any such transfers:

2000, to receive a salary adjustment in accordace with 28 U.S.C.
461. (The Judiciary Appropriations Act, 1999, as included in Public
Law 105–277, section 101(b).)
