Federal Courts with Local Patent Rules
All Federal District Courts have local civil rules that apply in all civil cases including patent cases.
Some courts have made small modifications to individual local rules for patent cases.
The list below is where a court has either adopted a separate set of local patent rules to supplement its local rules, or integrated detailed rules for patent cases into its local rules.
The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals’ Local Rules and Internal Operating Procedures are at the end of this list.
