Here is what the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said (while

"The freedom of the district courts to follow the guidance of their
particular circuits in all but the substantive law fields assigned
exclusively to this court [patents law] is recognized in the foregoing
opinions and in this case."; ATARI, INC., v. JS & A GROUP, INC., 747
F.2d 1422, 223 USPQ 1074(Fed. Cir. 1984)(en banc).
There is about a one in one billion chance that *any* district court
*anywhere* will heed the ruling of the CAFC while ignoring the the
controlling law of their respective appellate circuit courts. The JMRI
decision isn't worth the paper it's printed on and you known it.
The CAFC directly contradicted the Ninth Circuit and district judge
White. If you think that on remand, Judge White in the JMRI case is
going follow a CAFC ruling that contradicts the authority of the Ninth
Circuit, you've probably been smoking something illegal.
