2   DRAGON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY   v. UNIFIED PATENTS, INC.



      Before MOORE, MAYER, and STOLL, Circuit Judges.
STOLL, Circuit Judge.
     Dragon Intellectual Property appeals the Patent Trial
and Appeal Board’s determination that claims 1, 2, 7, 8,
10, 13, and 14 of U.S. Patent No. 5,930,444 are invalid.
Our decision today in a related case, Dragon Intellectual
Property, LLC v. DISH Network LLC et al., Nos. 2016-
2468, -2492, affirms the Board’s determination that
claims 1–4, 7–10, 13, and 14 of the ’444 patent are inva-
lid. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot.
                DISMISSED AS MOOT
                         COSTS
    No costs.
