The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, located in Washington, D.C., has exclusive nationwide jurisdiction
over a large number of diverse subject areas, such as appeals in all patent cases, all government contract cases, all international
trade cases, all government contract 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.
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 Appeals for Veterans Claims, 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.
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 Appeals for Veterans Claims.
Legislation having an impact on the Federal Circuit is contained in P.L. 105–339 (51021) October 31, 1998, Veterans Employment
Opportunities Act of 1998, which provides a remedy through the Merit Systems Protection Board for those seeking review of
the application of veterans preference rules to applicants for Federal employment.

The United States Court of International Trade, established under Article III of the Constitution of the United States, was
created by the Act of October 10, 1980 (94 Stat. 1727), effective November 1, 1980, as successor to the former United States
Customs Court. The court has original and exclusive jurisdiction of civil actions against the United States, its agencies
and officers, and certain civil actions brought by the United States, arising out of import transactions and Federal statutes
affecting customs and international trade. The court possesses all the powers in law and equity of, or as conferred by statute
upon, a district court of the United States, and is authorized to conduct jury trials. The geographical jurisdiction of the
court is nationwide and trials before the court or hearings may be held at any place within the jurisdiction of the United
States. The court also is authorized to hold hearings in foreign countries. The principal statutory provisions pertaining
to the court are contained in the following sections of Title 28 of the United States Code: Organization, sections 251–258;
Jurisdiction, sections 1581–1585; and Procedures, sections 2631–2646.

The Judiciary Information Technology Fund provides the judiciary with a funds management tool which allows more effective
and efficient planning, budgeting, and use of funds for information technology activities. The Fund was authorized "without
fiscal year limitation," which allows the judiciary to carry forward funds for projects that incur obligations over multiple
years. The Fund makes it possible to implement the Long Range Plan for Information Technology in the Federal Judiciary and to manage the information technology program over a multi-year planning cycle while maximizing efficiencies and benefits.
The Fund is financed through deposits and transfers from appropriations, reimbursements, user fees, and the sale of surplus
equipment.
