`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S NOTICE OF APPEAL TO THE UNITED STATES COURT
`OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT
`
`
`
`
`1 Case IPR2015-01980 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`
`Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 141(c), 142, 319; 37 C.F.R.
`
`§§ 90.2(a), 90.3(a), and Federal Circuit Rule 15(a)(1), that Patent Owner Yeda
`
`Research & Development Co. Ltd. (“Yeda” or “Patent Owner”) appeals to the
`
`United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board’s modified Final Written Decision entered on December 2, 2016
`
`(Paper 91) and its Decision on Patent Owner’s Request for Rehearing (Paper 90) in
`
`the above-captioned inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,399,413 (“the ’413
`
`patent”). This notice is timely filed within 63 days of the Board’s Decision on
`
`Patent Owner’s Request for Rehearing. 37 C.F.R. § 90.3(b)(1).
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Patent Owner indicates that
`
`the issues on appeal include the following: (1) whether the Board erred in holding
`
`that claims 1-20 are unpatentable; (2) whether the Board’s decision was arbitrary,
`
`capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law; (3)
`
`whether the Board’s subsidiary findings were unsupported by substantial evidence
`
`and rested on legal error; (4) whether the Board’s decision on Patent Owner’s
`
`Motion to Exclude, delayed until the Final Written Decision, deprived Patent
`
`Owner of an opportunity to address the contested evidence; (5) whether the Board
`
`erred in denying Patent Owner’s Motion to Exclude; (6) whether the Board’s Final
`
`Written Decision relied on evidence that was beyond the scope of the Institution
`
`Decision and Patent Owner was therefore deprived of an opportunity to address the
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`evidence; (7) whether the Board erred in its Decision Denying-in-Part Patent
`
`Owner’s Motion to Submit Supplemental Information; (8) whether the Board
`
`exceeded its administrative power under the Constitution when it found that claims
`
`1-20 were unpatentable; and (9) all other issues decided adversely to Patent Owner,
`
`including any orders, decisions, rulings and/or opinions.
`
`
`
`Simultaneously with this submission, Patent Owner is filing a true and
`
`correct copy of this Notice of Appeal with the Director of the U.S. Patent and
`
`Trademark Office and filing one copy of this Notice of Appeal, along with the
`
`required docketing fees, with the Clerk of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
`
`Federal Circuit as set forth in the accompanying Certificate of Filing and
`
`Certificate of Service.
