`
`
`
`On April 15, 2016, Patent Owner filed an authorized Motion To Terminate
`
`the instant Covered Business Method Review of claims 7 and 12 of U.S. Patent
`
`7,942,317 (“the ’317 Patent”). CBM2015-00192, Pap. 22. Petitioner does not
`
`oppose Patent Owner’s Motion.
`
`On September 25, 2015, the Board held claims 7 and 12 of the ’317 Patent
`
`unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Apple Inc. v. Smartflash LLC, CBM2014-
`
`00112, Final Written Decision, Paper 48 at 29. On November 25, 2015, Patent
`
`Owner appealed the Board’s Final Written Decision. On March 4, 2016, pursuant
`
`to Fed. R. App. P. 42 (b), the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
`
`Circuit dismissed Patent Owner’s appeal. The Board’s determination that Claims 7
`
`and 12 of the ’317 Patent are unpatentable is thus final, and the issue of their
`
`patentability in this proceeding is moot. Accordingly, Petitioner does not oppose
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion To Terminate.
