`
`I. BACKGROUND
`On October 7, 2019, the Board issued a Final Written Decision in this
`proceeding. Paper 42. On appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
`Circuit determined that this proceeding is moot because all claims at issue in
`the appeal were deemed ineligible under 35 U.S.C. § 101 in Universal
`Secure Registry LLC v. Apple Inc., 10 F.4th 1342 (Fed. Cir. 2021). Apple
`Inc. v. Universal Secure Registry, LLC, 857 F. App’x 659 (Fed. Cir. 2021)
`(citing Apple Inc. v. Voip-Pal.com, Inc., 976 F.3d 1316, 1321 (Fed. Cir.
`2020)). Thus, the Court vacated our Final Written Decision and instructed
`us to dismiss Apple’s petition. Id.
`
`II. ANALYSIS
`As directed by the Federal Circuit, we dismiss the Petition in
`IPR2018-00810. 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`
`III. ORDER
`
`It is hereby:
`ORDERED that the Petition in IPR2018-00810 is dismissed.
