 PROST, Circuit Judge.

                         ORDER
     Apple Inc. petitioned for inter partes review of claims
 1–10 and 16–19 of U.S. Patent No. 10,259,020 (“the ’020
 patent”), claims 1, 2, 4–10, 12, 14–17, and 19 of U.S. Patent
 No. 10,259,021 (“the ’021 patent”), claims 1–5 and 7–13 of
 U.S. Patent No. 10,562,077 (“the ’077 patent”), and claims
 1–5 and 7–13 of U.S. Patent No. 10,589,320 (“the ’320 pa-
 tent”). In four final written decisions, the Patent Trial and
Case: 22-2257     Document: 57    Page: 2    Filed: 04/11/2024

 2                   GUI GLOBAL PRODUCTS, LTD. v. APPLE INC.

 Appeal Board (“Board”) determined that the challenged
 claims were unpatentable over the asserted prior art. Ap-
 ple Inc. v. GUI Glob. Prods., Ltd., No. IPR2021-00470, 2022
 WL 3331044 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 11, 2022); Apple Inc. v. GUI
 Glob. Prods., Ltd., No. IPR2021-00471, 2022 WL 2960347
 (P.T.A.B. July 26, 2022); Apple Inc. v. GUI Glob. Prods.,
 Ltd., No. IPR2021-00472, 2022 WL 2959606 (P.T.A.B. July
 26, 2022); Apple Inc. v. GUI Glob. Prods., Ltd., No.
 IPR2021-00473, 2022 WL 3219668 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 9, 2022).
 GUI Global Products, Ltd. (“Gwee”) timely appealed each
 final written decision, and we have jurisdiction under
 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(4)(A).
     In a decision issued today in consolidated companion
 appeals, we affirmed the Board’s determination that all
 claims of the ’020, ’021, ’077, and ’320 patents were un-
 patentable. GUI Glob. Prods., Ltd. v. Samsung Elecs. Co.,
 Nos. 22-2156, 22-2157, 22-2158, 22-2159. Gwee’s appeals
 here are moot in light of that decision. Cisco Sys., Inc. v.
 TQ Delta, LLC, 928 F.3d 1359, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2019).
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
     These appeals are dismissed as moot in light of our af-
 firmance in GUI Global Products, Ltd. v. Samsung Elec-
 tronics Co., Nos. 22-2156, 22-2157, 22-2158, 22-2159.
