`
`Appellee,

`Patent Owner and Appellant.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner, Yissum Research Development Co. of the Hebrew University
`
`of Jerusalem, hereby notices its appeal from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`Decision Denying Request for Rehearing dated November 6, 2014 [Paper 62], the
`
`Final Decision dated September 22, 2014 [Paper 60], and all adverse rulings or
`
`orders leading up to the Final Decision and Decision on Rehearing.
`
`
`
`
`
`In addition to other issues that may be raised on appeal, Patent Owner states,
`
`pursuant to 37 CFR 90.2(a)(3)(ii), that the appeal may raise one or more of the
`
`following legal issues:
`
`(a) Whether non-definitional statements can trump definitional statements
`
`in a specification for purposes of claim construction under the
`
`broadest reasonable interpretation (BRI) standard;
`
`(b) Whether the Board is required to provide a factual analysis and
`
`explanation before considering a non-public, confidential document to
`
`be a printed publication; and
`
`(c) Whether the Board’s regulations restricting opportunities to be heard
`
`on new evidence introduced during an IPR violate due process or
`
`other requirements of agency law.
`
`
`
`In addition to the filing of this Notice of Appeal with the Director, the
`
`requisite copies of this notice and all related fees are being filed in the United
`
`States Patent Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board and in the United States
`
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
`
`
`
`No fees are believed to be due to the United States Patent and Trademark
`
`Office in connection with this filing, but authorization is hereby given for any
`
`required fees to be charged to the Haynes and Boone, LLP Deposit Account No.
