2 WINET LABS LLC v. MOTOROLA MOBILITY LLC

PER CURIAM. The district court dismissed this case for lack of stand- ing without specifying whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice. The parties agree that the dismissal must be without prejudice. This court understands the dis- trict court’s dismissal of this case to have been without prejudice. On this basis, we affirm the district court’s de- cision to dismiss this case for lack of standing. Appellant also challenges the district court’s decision to award attorney fees, a decision that is not final and ap- pealable until the award has been quantified. Because the award has not been quantified, we lack jurisdiction. Fa- lana v. Kent State Univ., 669 F.3d 1349, 1360–61 (Fed. Cir. 2012). We therefore dismiss this portion of the appeal. AFFIRMED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART
