XEROX CORP. v. META PLATFORMS, INC. 2
Before M OORE, Chief Judge, P ROST and STARK, Circuit
Judges.
MOORE, Chief Judge.
Xerox Corporation (Xerox) appeals a final written de-
cision 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
COSTS
No costs.
