RJ TECHNOLOGY LLC v. SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.

RJ TECHNOLOGY LLC v. SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. [ORDER] The Federal Circuit granted the motion to the extent it dismissed the appeal. The court ordered each party to bear its own costs. This nonprecedential order is a reminder that the Federal Circuit may resolve an assertedly moot PTAB appeal through Rule 42(b) voluntary dismissal without reaching any patentability or jurisdictional merits. Appeal dismissed; each party bears its own costs. The order issued as the mandate on July 31, 2026. The appeal arose from two PTAB IPR proceedings, but the order does not describe the challenged patent, claims, technology, or PTAB merits ruling. RJ Technology filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal as moot. The Federal Circuit construed the filing as a voluntary-dismissal motion under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42(b). The court dismissed the appeal and allocated costs so that each party bears its own. No patent-law merits issue—such as obviousness, claim construction, or written description—was decided. standing / jurisdiction remand non-precedential § 103 § 112(a) claim construction standing / jurisdiction remand non-precedential § 103 § 112(a) claim construction standing / jurisdiction non-precedential
