`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a) and 35 U.S.C. §§ 319 and 141-142, Patent
`
`Owner Andrea Electronics Corporation (“Patent Owner”), respectfully gives
`
`Notice that it hereby appeals the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (“Board”) Final
`
`Written Decision on Remand, dated October 28, 2020 (Paper 50) (the “Remand
`
`Decision”), that claims 6-9 of U.S. Patent No. 6,363,345 (“the ’345 Patent”) are
`
`unpatentable to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
`
`(“Federal Circuit”), and from all other underlying orders, decisions, rulings and
`
`opinions that are adverse to Patent Owner. This Notice of Appeal is timely filed
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 142, Fed. Cir. R. 15(a)(1), and 37 C.F.R. § 90.3.
`
`For the limited purpose of providing the Director of the United States Patent
`
`and Trademark Office (“Director”) with the information requested in 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 90.2(a)(3)(ii), issues in Patent Owner’s appeal may include the Board’s
`
`interpretation of the Federal Circuit’s construction of “periodically”; the Board’s
`
`application of that construction; the Board’s failure to apply that construction to
`
`the asserted prior art combination as set forth in the Petition (Paper 1); the Board’s
`
`interpretation of the prior art; the Board’s determination that claims 6-9 of the
`
`’345 Patent are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103; any findings supporting that
`
`determination; the Board’s failure to consider evidence of record properly; the
`
`Board’s legal errors in undertaking its § 103 analysis; the Board’s findings that
`
`conflict with the evidence of record or are not supported by substantial evidence;
