SITNET LLC v. Meta Platforms, Inc.
Patent Trial and Appeal Board
Holding
The Federal Circuit dismissed the appeal from the PTAB's decision in IPR2024-00530 under Fed. R. App. P. 42(b) on the parties' agreement. Each side bears its own costs, and the order issued as the mandate. The court decided no merits issues.
Why It Matters
The order has no precedential value and resolves no patent issue. It shows only that the parties ended this IPR appeal by agreement, so the appeal produced no merits ruling on the Board's decision.
