例如，當法院覺得沒有 jurisdiction 的時候，就用不受理：Because the district court’s initial order did not address Brinkmann’s invalidity counterclaim, this court determined that it lacked jurisdiction and dismissed the appeal.


見此判例：
In Transonic Systems, Inc. v. Non-Invasive Medical Technologies Corporation (No. 04-1546; July 25, 2005), the Federal Circuit reverses a district court's claim construction, and vacates a judgment of non-infringement and a prosecution history estoppel ruling.

claim construction 使用 reverse ；而 judgement 使用 vacate 。

先前還曾看過臺灣的判決，它裡面的用字是：行政處分用“撤銷”；法院的判決則用“廢棄”。




====================================================

這幾個字我常分不清楚vacate、reverse、dismiss，就算查了線上的法律字典，分不清楚，它們在看判決時很常出現。有哪位前輩知道這些字是什麼意思的，請您不吝分享（ides13@gmail.com），謝謝。
