Appeal from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board in No. IPR2021-01430.

Decided: April 17, 2025

KEVIN L. BURGESS, McKool Smith, P.C., Marshall, TX, for appellant. Also represented by ALEXANDRA FIGARI EASLEY, DAVID SOCHIA, Dallas, TX; JAMES ELROY QUIGLEY, Austin, TX.

22 XEROX CORP. v. X CORP.

Before MOORE, Chief Judge, PROST and STARK, Circuit

Judges.

Xerox Corporation (Xerox) appeals a final written decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (Board) holding claims 1–5, 7–11, 13–17, 19, and 20 of U.S. Patent No. 9,208,439 unpatentable. Because we affirm the Board’s decision holding all claims of the ’439 patent unpatentable as obvious in Xerox Corporation v. Snap, Inc., No. 2023-1967 (Fed. Cir. April 17, 2025), we dismiss this appeal as moot.
