Con, I believe you mean to use the term closing arguments. Both sides did present "findings of fact" which I have assumed substitute for closing arguments though I personally find that term very misleading. Reminds me of a question myself for the board attorneys. Is it possible for the Federal Circuit to decide the case without oral arguments? I have noticed cases from time to time are decided by the briefs. How does the court decide? Is it after the 2 sides present briefs the 3 judge panel sits down and decides if they are needed? Is it possible in our case to get a decision or remand with no oral arguments?
