INSTITUT PASTEUR & UNIVERSITE V. KAPPOS 4 ON MOTION

Before RADER, Chief Judge, LOURIE and SCHALL, Circuit Judges. SCHALL, Circuit Judge.

ORDER The Director of the United States Patent and Trade- mark Office (USPTO) moves without opposition to dismiss appeal no. 2012-1484, to dismiss certain claims from the patent at issue in appeal no. 2012-1487, and to dismiss appeal no. 2012-1486 on the ground of mootness.
