On April 6, 1998, President Bill Clinton nominated Dyk to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated by Judge Glenn L. Archer Jr. With the United States Senate controlled by Republicans, Dyk's nomination languished for more than two years. The delay was due in part to some Republican Senators' views that the Federal Circuit did not need another judge. Dyk was confirmed by the Senate by a 74–25 vote on May 24, 2000.[8] He received his commission on May 25, 2000.[4] As of 2016, Dyk has written over 400 precedential majority decisions and over 170 non-precedential majority decisions for the Federal Circuit, and over 50 precedential majority decisions for the First Circuit, where he has sat by designation. Dyk has also sat by designation as a trial judge in the Eastern District of Texas and the District of Delaware.
