Appeal from the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board in No. 15/487,516.

ON MOTION
______________________
Before LOURIE, CHEN , and STARK , Circuit Judges.
PER C URIAM.
O R D E R
The Director of the United States Patent and Trade-
mark Office moves unopposed to remand for further pro-
ceedings.
The Patent Trial and Appeal Board affirmed the exam-
iner’s rejection of claims in Google LLC’s patent applica-
tion, finding certain claim limitations were conditional and
that the examiner did not need to present evidence of an-
ticipation of those limitations under the Board’s preceden-
tial decision in Ex Parte Schulhauser, No. 2013-007847,
2016 WL 6277792 (P.T.A.B. Apr. 28, 2016).

IN RE: GOOGLE LLC 2
In her motion, the Director states that the Board’s de-
termination was erroneous and seeks remand for addi-
tional proceedings. Without taking a position on the
underlying merits, we agree that remand is proper and
could preserve party and judicial resources.
Accordingly,
IT IS O RDERED THAT:
(1) The motion is granted, and the matter is remanded
to the Board for further proceedings.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
