`PATENT OWNER’S NOTICE OF APPEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a) and 35 U.S.C. § 142,
`
`that Patent Owner Aventis Pharma S.A. (“Aventis”) appeals to the United States
`
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Final Written Decision of the
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) in Case IPR2016-00712 entered on
`
`September 21, 2017 (Paper 99) (“Final Written Decision”), and from all underlying
`
`orders, decisions, rulings and opinions, including without limitation the Decision
`
`Instituting Inter Partes Review entered on September 22, 2016 (Paper 9)
`
`(“Institution Decision”).
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Aventis indicates that the
`
`issues on appeal are: the Board’s determination of unpatentability of claims 21 and
`
`30 of U.S. Patent No. 8,927,592 (“the ’592 patent”) under 35 U.S.C. § 103,
`
`including the Board’s determination and application of its construction of terms in
`
`those claims; the Board’s denial of Patent Owner’s Contingent Motion to Amend
`
`claims 27-30 with proposed substitute claims 31-34, including the Board’s
`
`determination and application of its construction of terms in proposed substitute
`
`claims 31-34; the constitutionality of the inter partes review proceeding as raised
`
`in Oil States Energy Services, LLC v. Greene’s Energy Group, 639 F. App’x 639
`
`(Fed. Cir. May 4, 2016) cert. granted, 85 U.S.L.W. 3578 (U.S. June 12, 2017) (No.
`
`16-712) that the Board’s findings in this proceeding and this proceeding itself
`
`violate due process; and any finding or determination supporting or related to these
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`
`issues, as well as all other issues decided adversely to Aventis in any orders,
`
`decisions, rulings and opinions, all of which, taken together or independently,
`
`caused prejudicial harm to Aventis related to these issues.
`
`Simultaneous with this submission to the Director of the United States
`
`Patent and Trademark Office, a copy of this Notice of Appeal is being filed
`
`electronically with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. In addition, a copy of this
`
`Notice of Appeal is being filed with the Clerk’s Office for the United States Court
`
`of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, along with the required docketing fee.
