Decided July 1, 2013No. 11-15145PublishedCited by 56 opinions
1Per curiam
This appeal presents a jurisdictional issue of first impression in our Court: whether the Federal Circuit has exclusive jurisdiction to hear an appeal of a breach *838of contract claim that would require the resolution of a claim of patent infringement for the complainant to succeed. We conclude that this Court does have appellate jurisdiction. We then address the merits of this breach of contract claim, discuss the district court’s findings of facts and conclusions of law after the bench trial, and affirm in part and certify a question to the Florida Supreme Court.
