`IPR2014-00543
`U.S. Patent No. 8,036,988
`
`Patent Owner’s Notice of Appeal
`
`NOTICE OF APPEAL
`
`Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 37 C.R.F. § 90.2(a), that Patent Owner
`
`
`
`John D’Agostino hereby appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the
`
`Federal Circuit from the Final Written Decision entered on August 31, 2015
`
`(Paper 28), the Decision Denying Patent Owner’s Request for Rehearing entered
`
`on November 10, 2015 (Paper 30), and from all orders, decisions, rulings, and
`
`opinions underlying the Final Written Decision.
`
`
`
`For the limited purpose of providing the Director with information requested
`
`in 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Patent Owner anticipates that the issues on appeal
`
`may include the following, as well as any underlying findings, determinations,
`
`rulings, decisions, opinions, claim interpretations, or other related issues:
`
` Whether the Board erred in finding that claims 1-10, 15-25, 27-33, and
`
`35-38 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,442,462 (“Cohen”); and
`
` Whether the Board erred in finding that claims 11-14, 26, and 34 are
`
`unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Cohen in view of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 5,826,243 (“Musmanno”).
`
`
`
`Copies of this Notice of Appeal are being filed simultaneously with the
`
`Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Patent Trial and
