`
`NOTICE OF APPEAL
`
`Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 141 and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2,
`
`that Patent Owner Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Jazz”) hereby appeals to the United
`
`States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board’s (the “Board”) Final Written Decision entered on March 22, 2017 (Paper
`
`31), and from all orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions underlying those
`
`decisions regarding Jazz’s U.S. Patent No. 8,731,963 (the “’963 patent”) set forth
`
`in inter partes review IPR2015-01903.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Patent Owner anticipates that
`
`the issues on appeal may include, but are not limited to, 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 Petitioners met their burden in
`
`proving that the FDA Advisory Committee Transcript and Slides (Ex.
`
`1003), FDA Preliminary Clinical Safety Review (Ex. 1004), Briefing
`
`Booklet (Ex. 1005), and Xyrem Video and Transcript (Ex. 1006)
`
`(collectively “the ACA Materials”) qualify as prior art;
`
`• Whether the Board erred in its construction of the following claim
`
`term: “periodic reports”;

`
`

`Patent Owner Notice of Appeal
`
`Case IPR2015-01903
`Patent 8,731,963
`• Whether the Board erred in finding that Petitioners met their burden
`
`
`
`of proving that claims 24, 26, and 27 of the ’963 patent are
`
`unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over the ACA
`
`Materials in view of Korfhage (Ex. 1037).
`
`In accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2 and 90.3, copies
`
`of this Notice of Appeal are being timely filed simultaneously with the Director of
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Patent Trial and Appeal

`Board. In addition, a copy of this Notice of Appeal, along with the required
`
`docketing fees, are being filed with the Clerk’s Office for the United States Court
