Before P ROST , T ARANTO, and STARK, Circuit Judges.
P ROST , Circuit Judge.
Fintiv, Inc. (“Fintiv”) appeals a final written decision
by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board holding claims 1–3
of U.S. Patent No. 9,892,386 (“the ’386 patent”) unpatenta-
ble. Today we issued an opinion in related case Fintiv, Inc.
v. PayPal Holdings, Inc., No. 23-2312 (Fed. Cir. Apr. 30,
2025), holding, among others, claims 1–3 of the ’386 patent
invalid as indefinite. There is no dispute that our affir-
mance in the related case compels dismissing as moot this
appeal. See Oral Arg. at 0:27–0:40, No. 24-1345,
https://oralarguments.cafc.uscourts.gov/default.aspx?fl=
24-1345_03032025.mp3. Accordingly, having affirmed in
the related case, we dismiss as moot this appeal.
DISMISSED
