`
`PETITIONERS’ NOTICE OF APPEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. 90.2(a), Petitioners E. I. du
`
`Pont de Nemours and Company and Archer-Daniels-Midland Company
`
`(collectively, “Petitioners”) hereby give notice of their appeal under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 141(c) to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the
`
`Final Written Decision (Paper 43) issued by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`(“the Board”) on March 3, 2017 in the above-captioned proceeding, and from
`
`all other orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions underlying or related to the
`
`Final Written Decision.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), the expected issues on
`
`appeal include, but are not limited to, the Board’s failure to construe the
`
`disputed claim terms; its misapplication of the law of obviousness in the
`
`context of overlapping ranges; and its decision that Petitioners did not show by
`
`a preponderance of the evidence that claims 1-5 and 7-9 of U.S. Patent
`
`8,865,921 B2 are unpatentable as obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) and any
`
`finding or determination supporting or relating to that issue, as well as all other
`
`issues decided adversely to Petitioners or not considered in any orders,
`
`decisions, rulings, or opinions.
`
`This Notice of Appeal is being filed simultaneously with the Director of
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Board, and the Clerk’s
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Office for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
