`U.S. Patent No. 6,538,324 B1
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a), notice is hereby given that Patent Owner
`
`Godo Kaisha IP Bridge 1 (“Patent Owner”) hereby appeals to the United States
`
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit under 35 U.S.C. §§ 141 and 142 from the
`
`Final Written Decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”) entered
`
`on December 20, 2017 (Paper 47), the Decision Denying Request for Rehearing
`
`entered on February 21, 2018 (Paper 49), and from all underlying and related
`
`orders, decisions, rulings and opinions.
`
`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 conclusion that claims 1-3, 5-7, and 9 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,538,324 B1 have been shown to be unpatentable, the Board’s
`
`failure to find that proposed claims 11 and 12 are patentable, the Board’s erroneous
`
`reading of the prior art, the Board’s legal errors in its obviousness analysis,
`
`including errors in finding a motivation to combine teachings of prior art
`
`references, the Board’s erroneous claim constructions, and any finding or
`
`determination supporting or related to those issues, as well as other issues decided
`
`adversely to Patent Owner in any orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions.
`
`Simultaneously with this submission, a copy of this Notice of Appeal is
`
`being filed with the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and a copy
`
`is being electronically filed, along with the required docketing fees, with the
`
`Clerk’s Office in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
