United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ In Re DATONICS, LLC, Appellant ______________________ 2026-1124 ______________________ Appeal from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board in No. 17/401,052. ______________________ ON MOTION ______________________ Before TARANTO, MAYER, and STARK, Circuit Judges.

MAYER, Circuit Judge.

ORDER Datonics, LLC appeals from a decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board rejecting certain patent application claims based on double patenting and patent eligibility.

Stating that the Board erred in its analysis, ECF No. 9 at 2, the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) moves without opposition to remand for further proceedings before the agency. Without drawing any conclusions regarding the merits of the appeal, the court agrees that remand here would preserve party and judicial resources.

Accordingly, Case: 26-1124 Document: 10 Page: 2 Filed: 02/13/2026

2 IN RE DATONICS, LLC

IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion is granted. The case is remanded to the USPTO for further consideration consistent with the mo- tion and this order. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
