Three appeals in federal patent-infringement lawsuits center on the legality of an East Texas judge’s unconventional choice to have juries answer a single yes-or-no question on whether defendants copied multiple patents rather than deciding separately whether each individual patent was infringed.

The next battleground in President Donald Trump’s tariff push is a technocratic federal appeals court that spends most of its time resolving intellectual property disputes.
