The United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals was created to handle the caseload associated with the passage of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909. After the act became law, appeals were heard by the Board of General Appraisers. If a decision of the board was appealed, it was heard by the U.S. Circuit Courts. Because of the high caseload volume brought forth by this law, in 1910 Congress authorized the United States Court of Customs Appeals.[1]

Judges were nominated using the same method as Article III judges; they were nominated by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate.[1]

Nineteen years after it was formed, the court added appeals from the Patent Office to its jurisdiction, becoming the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals.[1]

The U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals lasted until 1982, and its jurisdiction was taken over by the First Circuit Court of Appeals.[1]
