XEROX CORPORATION v. META PLATFORMS , INC. 2
Before STOLL, C LEVENGER , and C UNNINGHAM , Circuit
Judges.
STOLL, Circuit Judge.
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 in-
stant appeal involves a subset of those very claims: 1–3, 5,
7, 10–12, and 15–16. For the reasons we explained in Ap-
ple 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.
DISMISSED
C OSTS
No costs.
