Hyatt v. U.S. Patent & Trademark Office
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Decided September 24, 2018No. 2017-1722PublishedCited by 11 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Hughes, Circuit Judge.
Gilbert Hyatt sued the United States Patent and Trademark Office alleging that the PTO acted unlawfully in denying his petition for rulemaking. Mr. Hyatt now appeals from the district court's grant of the PTO's motion for summary judgment and dismissal of his claims for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We reverse the district court's dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because Mr. Hyatt's claims are either time-barred or reliant on mistaken statutory interpretation, however, we affirm on alternate grounds the district court's grant of summary judgment.
