`A Decision Denying Institution of Covered Business Method Patent Review
`(Paper 15, “Decision”) was issued in this matter on June 30, 2016, and sealed to be
`available to the “Parties and Board Only,” because the Decision discussed and
`cited information subject to motions to seal. Upon notice and opportunity, neither
`party elected to file a Motion to Seal portions of this Decision within the requisite
`time period. Accordingly, the seal is lifted and the June 30, 2016 Decision is made
`public.
`
`Accordingly, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the Decision Denying Institution of Covered Business
`Method Patent Review (Paper 15) be made public.
