A quick definition of Federal Circuit:

The Federal Circuit is a court that hears appeals in patent cases and various actions against the United States to recover damages. It was created in 1982 by merging the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals and the U.S. Court of Claims. The purpose of its creation was to end forum-shopping in patent suits, settle differences in patent-law doctrines among the circuits, and allow a single forum to develop the expertise needed to rule on complex technological questions that arise in patent suits. It is an intermediate-level appellate court with jurisdiction over cases from various administrative agencies and courts.
