`Case No. IPR2018-01282
`Attorney Docket No.: 39521-0042IP2
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 141(c) and 319, and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a), notice is
`
`hereby given that Petitioner Apple Inc. hereby appeals to the United States Court
`
`of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Final Written Decision in Case
`
`No. IPR2018-01282 entered February 24, 2020 (Paper 34) (“Final Written
`
`Decision”) by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”), and from all
`
`underlying orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions related thereto and included
`
`therein. This appeal is timely under 35 U.S.C. § 142, 37 C.F.R. § 90.3, and
`
`Rule 15(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), the expected issues on appeal
`
`include, but are not necessarily limited to:
`
`(1) The Board’s decision that claims 4 and 23 of U.S. Patent No. 8,768,865
`
`(Ex. 1001) were not shown to be unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)
`
`as anticipated by U.S. Patent 8,676,224, filed Feb. 19, 2008, issued Mar.
`
`18, 2014 (Ex. 1011, “Louch”);
`
`(2) The Board’s decision that claims 5, 24, and 48 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,768,865 (Ex. 1001) were not shown to be unpatentable under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 103(a) by Louch in view of U.S. Patent Applicaton 2010/0217533,
`
`issued Aug. 26, 2010 (Ex. 1008, “Nadkarni”);
`
`(3) The Board’s interpretation of the limitations “wherein said second
`
`pattern is recognized in a reduced set of varying parameters derived from
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2018-01282
`Attorney Docket No.: 39521-0042IP2
`said monitored input signals in response, at least in part, to said fixing of
`
`said subset of varying parameters” (claim 4) and “wherein said second
`
`pattern is associated with a reduced set of varying parameters derived
`
`from said monitored input signals due, at least in part, to fixing said
`
`subset of varying parameters” (claim 23), including the Board’s implicit
`
`construction of those limitations and their application to the prior art;
`
`(4) The Board’s interpretation of the limitation “capturing a snapshot of said
`
`monitored input signals in response to said detection of said at least one
`
`condition, said monitored input signals defining at least one context-
`
`related information stream” (claim 5), and “capture a snapshot of said
`
`monitored input signals in response to said detection of said at least one
`
`condition, said monitored input signals defining at least one context-
`
`related input stream” (claims 24 and 48), including the Board’s implicit
`
`construction of those limitations and their application to the prior art;
`
`(5) The Board’s interpretation of the prior art;
`
`(6) The Board’s legal errors in undertaking the aforementioned obviousness
`
`analysis;
`
`(7) The Board’s findings that conflict with the evidence of record or are
`
`otherwise not supported by substantial evidence;
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2018-01282
`Attorney Docket No.: 39521-0042IP2
`(8) The Board’s failure to consider evidence of record fully and properly;
`
`and
`
`(9) all other issues decided adversely to Petitioner in any orders, decisions,
`
`ruling and opinion underlying or supporting the Final Written Decision.
`
`Per 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(1), this notice is being filed
`
`with the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and a copy is also being
`
`filed with the Board. Per Federal Circuit Rule 15(a)(1) and 37 C.F.R. 90.2(a)(2),
