IYM TECHNOLOGIES LLC, Appellant v. RPX CORPORATION, ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES, INC., Appellees
NOTE: This order is nonprecedential. Appeal from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board in No. IPR2017-01888. Before LOURIE, MOORE, and HUGHES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
ORDER
RPX Corporation petitioned for inter partes review of claims of 1-11, 13, and 14 of U.S. Patent 7,448,012, owned by IYM Technologies LLC. After that review, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("the Board") held that claims 1-9, 11, 13, and 14 of the '012 patent are unpatentable. See RPX Corp. v. IYM Techs. LLC, No. IPR2017-01888 (PTAB March 6, 2019). IYM appeals.
In a separate appeal, we recently affirmed a decision by the Board holding claims 1-14 of the same '012 patent unpatentable. IYM Techs. LLC v. RPX Corp., No. 19-1761 (Fed. Cir. March 9, 2020).
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed as moot in light of our affirmance in IYM Techs. LLC v. RPX Corp., No. 19-1761 (Fed. Cir. March 9, 2020), which invalidated all of the claims at issue in this appeal.
