22 XEROX CORP. v. META PLATFORMS, INC.
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.
DISMISSED
