`
`
`
`IPR2015-01776
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 141 & 142 and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a), Patent Owner,
`
`Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., hereby provides notice that it appeals to the United
`
`States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Final Written Decision,
`
`entered February 23, 2017 (Paper 70), and from all underlying orders, decisions,
`
`rulings, and opinions related to Claim 6 of U.S. Patent No. 7,582,621 ("the '621
`
`Patent") entered in the above captioned proceeding before the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board ("Board").
`
`For the limited purpose of providing the Director of the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office with the information requested under 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii),
`
`Patent Owner submits that the appeal will address all aspects of the Board's decision
`
`concluding that Petitioner has demonstrated, by a preponderance of the evidence, that
`
`Claim 6 of the '621 Patent is unpatentable. In particular, but without limitation, this
`
`appeal will address issues including the level of ordinary skill in the art; the proper
`
`interpretation of the cited prior art (Austin, Brehove, and Freeman); the weight given
`
`to the evidence of record, including expert testimony; the alleged motivation to
`
`combine asserted references with a reasonable expectation of success; and the proper
`
`application of the legal doctrine of obviousness, as annunciated by KSR Int 'l Co. v.
`
`Teleflex, Inc., 550 U.S. 398 (2007). Patent Owner further reserves the right to challenge
`
`any finding or determination supporting or relating to the issues listed above and to
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01776
`
`challenge any other issues decided against Patent Owner in any order, decision, ruling,
`
`or opinion by the Board in the above captioned proceeding.
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2(a) & 90.3(a), this Notice is
`
`being timely filed with the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`within 63 days of the Board's Final Written Decision, and a copy of this Notice is being
`
`concurrently filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. In addition, a copy of this
`
`Notice is being filed with the Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the
`
`Federal Circuit, along with an electronic copy of the Notice and the required docketing
`
`fee of $500, which are being served electronically on the Court by CM/ECF and
