`
`Before TARANTO, WALLACH,* and STOLL, Circuit Judges.
`STOLL, Circuit Judge.
`In our opinion in Universal Secure Registry LLC v. Ap-
`ple, Inc., No. 20-2044 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 26, 2021), issued con-
`comitantly with this opinion, we held all the claims at issue
`in this appeal ineligible under 35 U.S.C. § 101. For the
`reasons we explained in Apple Inc. v. Voip-Pal.com, Inc.,
`976 F.3d 1316, 1321 (Fed. Cir. 2020), this appeal is ren-
`dered moot in light of our decision in Universal Secure.
`Thus, we vacate the Board’s final written decision and re-
`mand for the Board to dismiss Apple’s petition.
`VACATED AND REMANDED
`COSTS
`
`No costs.
