Has the United States ever lost a court case?

Question

I know there have been many court cases filed against the United States, but has the United States lost any of them? I assume so but I couldn't find much about that.

Yes, the "federal reports" are full of thousands of cases "against the United States" that were lost by the US, not including thousands of OTHERS that were filed by the US and then lost by the US.
