In re Satius Holding, Inc.

In re Satius Holding, Inc. The Federal Circuit dismissed the appeal as moot because, in a companion appeal decided the same day, it concluded that claim 1 of the ’385 patent is invalid. The court did not reach the merits of the PTAB’s obviousness rejection. A parallel Federal Circuit invalidity ruling on the same claim can eliminate any live controversy over a PTAB reexamination rejection of that claim. Dismissed as moot; no costs. The appeal arose from an ex parte reexamination of the ’385 patent. The PTAB rejected claim 1 on obviousness grounds and denied Satius’s rehearing request. The Federal Circuit relied on its same-day companion decision in Satius Holding, LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., No. 2025-1446, concluding claim 1 is invalid. Because the challenged claim was invalidated in the companion case, the court dismissed this PTO appeal as moot rather than addressing the § 103 merits. § 103 standing / jurisdiction non-precedential § 103 standing / jurisdiction non-precedential standing / jurisdiction non-precedential § 103
