`
`1 Case CBM2016-00035 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2015-00161
`U.S. Patent 6,766,304
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 141 and 142, and 37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2 and 90.3,
`
`Patent Owner, Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), hereby provides
`
`notice that it cross-appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
`
`Circuit from the Final Written Decision (Paper 129) entered on February 17, 2017,
`
`and from all underlying orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions regarding U.S.
`
`Patent 6,766,304 (“the ’304 patent”) at issue in Covered Business Method No.
`
`CBM2015-00161. This cross appeal is timely because it is filed within 14 days of
`
`Petitioners’ notice of appeal, which has been docketed as Federal Circuit appeal
`
`no. 17-1732.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), the issues on cross-appeal
`
`include the Board’s determination that it had jurisdiction to issue the Final Written
`
`Decision because the ’304 patent is a covered business method patent under § 18
`
`of the American Invents Act. See Granite Mgmt. Corp. v. United States, 416 F.3d
`
`1373, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (regarding jurisdictional issue and cross-appeal). The
`
`remedy sought on cross-appeal is vacation of the Final Written Decision. See
`
`Secure Axcess, LLC v. PNC Bank Nat'l Ass'n, No. 2016-1353, 2017 WL 676601, at
`
`*9 (Fed. Cir. Feb. 21, 2017).
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a), this Notice is being
`
`filed with the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and a
`
`copy of this Notice is being concurrently filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2015-00161
`U.S. Patent 6,766,304
`Board. In addition, a copy of this Notice along with the required docketing fees are
`

`
`Federal Circuit via CM/ECF.
