                            ORDER
     Rambus Inc. and the Deputy Director of the U.S. Pa-
 tent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) jointly move to re-
 mand these cases to conduct further proceedings in light
 of Rambus Inc. v. Rea, 731 F.3d 1248 (Fed. Cir. 2013).
     In Rambus, this court vacated the Patent Trial and
 Appeal Board’s obviousness rejection of claims of a related
 patent based on a combination of the same prior art
 references at issue here.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
     (1) The motions are granted. The cases are remanded
 to the Board to conduct further proceedings consistent
 with this order.
       (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
