22 XEROX CORPORATION v. META PLATFORMS, INC.
Before STOLL, CLEVENGER, and CUNNINGHAM, Circuit
Judges.
In our opinion in Xerox Corp. v. X Corp., No. 23-1913 (Fed. Cir. June 17, 2025), issued concomitantly with this opinion, we affirmed the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board holding all claims (1–18) of U.S. Patent No. 7,043,475 unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The instant appeal involves a subset of those very claims: 1–3, 5, 7, 10–12, and 15–16. For the reasons we explained in Apple Inc. v. Voip-Pal.com, Inc., 976 F.3d 1316, 1321 (Fed. Cir. 2020), this appeal is rendered moot in light of our decision in X Corp. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
