Google could request rehearing en-banc (IE in front of the whole federal circuit). If that succeeded, the decision would be vacated until the en-banc rehearing.

Whether that happens or not, they can also appeal it to the supreme court.

Suffice to say, my completely personal view is that it was appealed to this very court for a reason. Normally, this is the court that hears all patent appeals. Because the original lawsuit involved patent claims, they have jurisdiction, even though there are no patent claims being appealed.

Otherwise, it would have gone to the 9th circuit, who, i suspect, would have been more favorable.
