`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2018-00067
`U.S. Patent No. 8,577,813 B2
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2 and 90.3, and 35 U.S.C. §§ 141 and 142,
`
`Universal Secure Registry LLC (“Patent Owner”) respectfully gives Notice that it
`
`hereby appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit the
`
`May 1, 2019 Final Written Decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`(“Board”) in IPR2018-00067 (Paper 54) that claims 1–3, 5–9, 11, 13–18, 20, and
`
`22–26 of U.S. Patent No. 8,577,813 B2 (“the ’813 patent”) are unpatentable, denial
`
`of Patent Owner’s Contingent Motion to Amend, and all other prior interlocutory
`
`and underlying orders, decisions, rulings, findings and opinions that are adverse to
`
`Patent Owner related thereto or subsumed therein. Patent Owner electronically
`
`received the Final Written Decision on the day the decision was entered.
`
`For the limited purpose of providing the Director with the information
`
`specified in 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), issues on Patent Owner’s appeal may
`
`include the Board’s determination that claims 1–3, 5–9, 11, 13–18, 20, and 22–26
`
`of the ’813 patent have been shown to be unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in
`
`view of the grounds of unpatentability identified in the Board’s Final Written
`
`Decision, the Board’s denial of Patent Owner’s Contingent Motion to Amend, the
`
`Board’s failure to dismiss the Petition for failure to name a real party in interest,
`
`challenges to any findings supporting these determinations, the Board’s failure to
`
`properly consider evidence of record, the Board’s legal errors in undertaking the
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2018-00067
`U.S. Patent No. 8,577,813 B2
`
`
`above analyses, the Board’s findings that conflict with the evidence of record and
`
`are not supported by substantial evidence, the Board’s findings with respect to
`
`objective indicia of nonobviousness, and all other prior interlocutory and
`
`underlying orders, decisions, rulings, findings and opinions decided adversely to
`
`Patent Owner.
`
`Simultaneous with this filing and in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a),
`
`this Notice of Appeal is filed with the Director of the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office, filed with the Board, and served upon Petitioner in accordance
`
`with 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(e).
`
`In addition, this Notice of Appeal, along with the required fees, is being filed
`
`with the Clerk’s Office for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
`
`Circuit in accordance with Fed. Cir. R. 15(a)(1).
`
`In addition to this Notice of Appeal, a copy of the Final Written Decision
`
`(Paper No. 54) is being submitted to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
`
`CM/ECF System and to the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark
`
`Office along with a letter indicating the decision is CONFIDENTIAL – FOR
`
`BOARD AND PARTIES ONLY. That same Final Written Decision is not being
`
`refiled with the Board, which already has a copy.
