`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ZOLL LIFECOR CORPORATION
`Appellant,
`
`v.
`
`MICHELLE K. LEE, Deputy Director, United States
`Patent and Trademark Office,
`
`and
`
`PHILIPS ELECTRONICS NORTH AMERICA CORPORATION
`Patent Owner-Appellee
`

`
`

`
`
`Case IPR2013-00618
`Patent 5,607,454
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`NOTICE OF APPEAL TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
`FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT BY ZOLL LIFECOR CORPORATION
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00618
`Attorney Docket No: 38855-0005IP1
`
`
`
`Notice is hereby given that Petitioner, ZOLL LIFECOR CORPORATION
`
`(“ZOLL LIFECOR”) hereby appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the
`
`Federal Circuit for the instant matter, Case IPR2013-00618, ZOLL LIFECOR
`
`CORPORATION v. PHILIPS ELECTRONICS NORTH AMERICA
`
`CORPORATION.
`
`ZOLL LIFECOR appeals the decision denying Institution of Inter Partes
`
`Review, paper 15, entered March 20, 2014, by the Patent Trials and Appeals
`
`Board. The appellee is the United States Patent and Trademark Office as
`
`represented by Deputy Director, Michelle K. Lee. Jurisdiction for the appeal is
`
`founded at least upon two wholly separate bases:
`
` 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(4)(A) (granting the Federal Circuit jurisdiction
`
`“with respect to a patent application, derivation proceeding,
`
`reexamination, post-grant review, or inter partes review under title
`
`35), alone or in combination with 35 U.S.C. §§ 311 (establishing inter
`
`partes review under title 35), 312 (governing requirements for naming
`
`real party in interest), and 315 (governing requirements for inter
`
`partes review to be filed within “1 year after the date on which the
`
`petitioner, real party in interest, or privy of the petitioner is served
`
`with a complaint alleging infringement of the patent.”).
`

`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00618
`Attorney Docket No: 38855-0005IP1
` 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(4)(A) and 35 U.S.C. § 314 (governing
`
`authorization of review based on “a reasonable likelihood that the
`
`petitioner would prevail with respect to at least one of the claims
`
`challenged in the petition”). ZOLL LIFECOR recognizes that this
`
`latter basis for jurisdiction is presently foreclosed by the panel
`
`decision in St. Jude Med., Cardiology Div., Inc. v. Volcano Corp., ---
`
`F.3d ---, 2014 WL 1623676 (Fed. Cir. Apr. 24, 2014), and has
`
`identified the basis for jurisdiction in order to preserve the issue for
`
`later review.
`
`ZOLL LIFECOR also appeals all other opinions, orders, findings, or rulings
`
`prior to, during, or after the final decision, including but not limited to the denial of
`
`the Institution of Inter Partes Review.
