"by Dennis Crouch Today's post takes us back in time over the past five years (2020-2025) and looks at the Federal Circuit decisions that subsequently have become the most cited. As you might guess, this list is dominated by the older cases - since they have had more time to be cited. But, the is also dominated by § 101 patent eligibility decisions, with pleading standards, enablement, and procedural doctrine also featuring prominently. What follows is a brief tour through the top eleven."

An analysis identifies the Federal Circuit decisions from 2020–2025 that have become most cited. Older decisions dominate the list because they have had more time to accumulate citations. Patent eligibility under §101 comprises the largest subject area among the most-cited decisions. Other frequently cited doctrines include pleading standards, enablement, and procedural rules. The dataset focuses on the top eleven most-cited Federal Circuit decisions from that five-year span and provides a concise tour through each decision and its doctrinal significance. Citation patterns reflect both temporal advantages and doctrinal prominence, particularly in eligibility and procedural matters.
