ple Inc. v. GUI Glob. Prods., Ltd., No. IPR2021-00470, 2022
WL 3331044 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 11, 2022); Apple Inc. v. GUI

IPR2021-00473, 2022 WL 3219668 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 9, 2022).
GUI Global Products, Ltd. (“Gwee”) timely appealed each
final written decision, and we have jurisdiction under
28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(4)(A).
In a decision issued today in consolidated companion
appeals, we affirmed the Board’s determination that all
claims of the ’020, ’021, ’077, and ’320 patents were un-
patentable. GUI Glob. Prods., Ltd. v. Samsung Elecs. Co.,
Nos. 22-2156, 22-2157, 22-2158, 22-2159. Gwee’s appeals
here are moot in light of that decision. Cisco Sys., Inc. v.
TQ Delta, LLC, 928 F.3d 1359, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2019).
