ON MOTION

Before O’MALLEY, WALLACH, and HUGHES, Circuit Judges.
O’MALLEY, Circuit Judge.
ORDER
The Director of the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (“PTO”) moves without opposition to
remand this case to the PTO for further proceedings.
The Patent Trial and Appeal Board affirmed the Exam-
iner’s rejection of certain claims, but the PTO concedes that
the Board should reconsider its rejection in light of the
PTO’s examination policy on “configured to” claim lan-
guage.
