United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Read a random definition: reverse-Erie doctrine

A quick definition of United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit:

The United States Court of Appeals for 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 two other courts and has the authority to hear cases from several other courts and administrative agencies. Its purpose is 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.

A more thorough explanation:

The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is a court that hears appeals in patent cases and various actions against the United States to recover damages. It also hears cases from other courts and administrative agencies.

The Court was created in 1982 by merging the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals and the U.S. Court of Claims. Its purpose 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.

For example, if a company sues another company for infringing on their patent, and the case is appealed, it may be heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court would then make a decision on the case based on patent law and other relevant factors.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is often shortened to "federal circuit" and abbreviated as CAFC or Fed. Cir.

@Rightfullytherlauren: If the person is clean or has a good vibe I will do it the first date
15:06
Yeah sorry I can't answer that Lauren, I don't sleep with anyone if I'm not already dating them

@Rightfullytherlauren: This is like a stupid thing that only really hot guys and women have to think about. I have never had to think about this before. No answer.

@bigroger100: No idea. Probably when they released last year unless they were supposed to release already.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy

You just have to be smart and accept your choices, I know some people will believe a casual hook up or FWB is a regular exclusive thing. Communication is key if you are playing it that way but it is very dangerous to have multiple partners at the same time in a non-exclusive way

Yeah you should make it clear to them it's not exclusive

I have been on the receiving/hurt end thinking it was exclusive when I was just her human dildo and it makes you feel bad.

In all of these situations described, the point of failure happened way before the emotional reality set in.

I'm like extremely monogamous at heart
babycat
15:12

babycat
15:12
But one time this guy I'd been dating for a little bit had a tinder notification come up on his phone and I flipped my shit lol

15:13

I love my hot chick friends. Don't know where I would be without them

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again
