On June 14, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, sitting en banc, issued its decision in Robert Bosch, LLC v. Pylon Manufacturing Corp., holding that 28 U.S.C. § 1292(c)(2) confers jurisdiction on the court to entertain appeals from patent infringement liability determinations when a trial on damages has not yet occurred. Further, the court held that it may also entertain appeals from patent infringement liability determinations when willfulness issues remain undecided.
