Upon consideration of the above-captioned appeals, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

22 ASGHARI-KAMRANI v. UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE

(1) These appeals (Nos. 2018-1040 and 2018-1041) are dismissed as moot, and the decisions of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board are vacated in view of our affirmance of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia’s judgment of patent ineligibility in Asghari-Kamrani v. United Services Automobile Ass’n, Appeal Nos. 2016-2415, 2017-2101, and 2017-2191, and the parties’ agreement at oral argument that affirmance of the district court’s ineligibility decision has the effect of invalidating all claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,266,432. (2) No costs. FOR THE COURT
