REYNA, Circuit Judge.
In one of three appeals from a Section 337 investiga-
tion, Garmin International, Inc., Garmin USA, Inc., and
Garmin Corporation (collectively, “Garmin”) appeal from
a Modified Limited Exclusion Order (“Modified Order”) of
the United States International Trade Commission
(“Commission”) prohibiting entry into the United States of
products and components of products infringing various
claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,305,840 (“’840 patent”) and
U.S. Patent No. 8,605,550 (“’550 patent”).
Our decision today in a related case, Garmin Interna-
tional, Inc. v. International Trade Commission, No. 16-
1572, reverses the Commission’s finding of validity and
finds all of the patent claims referenced by the Modified
Order invalid as obvious over the prior art. Because we
have already reversed the Commission’s underlying
decision, we dismiss this appeal as moot.
DISMISSED
COSTS
No costs.
