`
`§§ 90.2(a), 90.3(a), and Federal Circuit Rule 15(a)(1), that Patent Owner Fresenius
`
`Kabi USA, LLC (“Patent Owner”) appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for
`
`the Federal Circuit from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s Final Written Decision
`
`entered on June 7, 2017 (Paper 47), and from all underlying orders, decisions,
`
`rulings, and opinions, in the above-captioned inter partes review of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,476,010 (“the ’010 patent”). This notice is timely filed within 63 days of the Final
`
`Written Decision. 37 C.F.R. § 90.3(a)(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, 13-15, 17, 18, 20, and 24-28 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/or rested on legal error; (4) whether the Board exceeded
`
`its administrative power under the Constitution by extinguishing private property
`
`rights through a non-Article III forum without a jury under Oil States Energy Servs.,
`
`LLC v. Greene's Energy Grp., LLC., 2017 WL 2507340 (U.S. June 12, 2017) when it
`
`found that claims 1, 13-15, 17, 18, 20, and 24-28 were unpatentable; and (5) all other
`
`issues decided adversely to Patent Owner, including any orders, decisions, rulings
`
`and/or opinions.
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a), simultaneously with this
