2 RIGGS TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, LLC v. VAGARO, INC.
CHEN, Circuit Judge.
Riggs Technology Holdings, LLC appeals from a deci-
sion by the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California holding that all claims of U.S. Patent
No. 7,299,067 (’067 patent) are directed to patent-ineligible
subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. See Riggs Tech.
Holdings, LLC v. Vagaro, Inc., No. 21-cv-07927-TSH, 2022
WL 74179, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 7, 2022). Our decision to-
day in a separate case, Riggs Technology Holdings, LLC v.
Cengage Learning, Inc., No. 22-1468, affirmed a decision by
the United States District Court for the District of Massa-
chusetts that also held that all claims of the ’067 patent are
directed to patent-ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C.
§ 101. Our decision in case No. 22-1468 has thus resolved
the patent eligibility of the claims on appeal. See BTG Int’l
Ltd. v. Amneal Pharms. LLC, 923 F.3d 1063, 1076–77 (Fed.
Cir. 2019). We therefore dismiss this appeal as moot.
DISMISSED
