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. Institut
Pasteur & Universite Pierre et Marie Curie opposes with
regard to appeal nos. 2012-1486-87.

    We deem it the better course for the parties to address
these issues in the briefs

      Upon consideration thereof,

      IT Is ORDERED THAT:

    (1) The motion to dismiss is granted only to the ex-
tent that appeal no. 2012-1484 is dismissed.
      (2) All other motions are denied.

     (3) Appellant's brief is due within 21 days of the date
of this order.
