prejudice. The district court held that ATI lacked stand-
ing to sue alone for patent infringement because it was

have now settled the case and requested an indicative
ruling from the district court, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
62.1, whether the district court would defer, deny, or
grant a motion to vacate the underlying judgment if the
case were remanded. The district court indicated pursu-
ant to Rule 62.1(a)(3) that it would grant the motion.
Upon consideration thereof ,
IT ls ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motion is granted The case is remanded to
the district court for further proceedings as may be ap-
propriate.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
