`
`
`Patent Owner Windy City Innovations, LLC hereby provides notice that it appeals
`
`to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Final
`
`Written Decision entered December 6, 2017 (Paper 65) and from all underlying

`orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions regarding U.S. Patent No. 8,407,356 (the

`
`
`
`For the limited purpose of providing the Director with the information
`
`requested in 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Patent Owner anticipates that the issues on
`

`00624 with IPR2016-01067 (Paper 33) with respect to only a subset of the claims
`
`for which the IPR2016-01067 petition sought invalidation; the Board’s decision to
`
`maintain the IPR2016-01067 “in abeyance” without a petitioner (Paper 32); the
`
`Board’s decision denying termination as to Patent Owner (Paper 34); the Board’s
`
`decision denying Patent Owner’s request for rehearing with respect to joinder and
`
`termination (Paper 55); the Board’s prior art determinations, the Board’s claim
`
`constructions, and the Board’s determinations that claims 1–9, 12, 14–28, 31, and
`
`33–37 of the ’356 patent are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (Paper 65); the
