  United States Court of Appeals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There currently are thirteen United States courts of appeals, although there are other tribunals (such as the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, which hears appeals in court-martial cases) that have "Court of Appeals" in their titles.
Although the courts of appeals are frequently referred to as "circuit courts," they should not be confused with the historical United States circuit courts, which existed from 1789 to 1911 and were primarily trial courts.
A court of appeals applies the law as it exists at the time of the appeal, otherwise it would be handing down decisions that were instantly obsolete, and this would be a waste of resources since such decisions could not be cited as precedent.

State Contracting next asserts that Florida has waived immunity as to the patent claims by filing the counterclaim and by litigating the counterclaim.

The examiner found that even if it is not generic, it is "merely descriptive" and Dial-A-Mattress presented insufficient evidence of acquired distinctiveness to permit registration of the mark under section 2(f) of the Trademark Act.
The Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Director) bears the burden of proving a term generic.
