court for an indicative ruling that it would vacate its prior patent-ineligibility decisions if this court remanded. ECF No. 57. Now that the district court has so indicated, the parties jointly move to remand these appeals for it to do so. ECF No. 60.1 We remand for the limited purpose of the district court’s consideration of the parties’ request for vacatur. See Ohio Willow Wood Co. v. Thermo-Ply, Inc., 629 F.3d 1374, 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2011). In granting the motion, this court takes no position on the propriety or necessity of any vacatur, leaving it to the district court to consider the principles enunciated in United States Bancorp Mortgage Co. v. Bonner Mall Partnership, 513 U.S. 18, 29 (1994).

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) ECF No. 60 is granted to the extent that the appeals are remanded.

(2) ECF No. 57 is denied as moot. (3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
