`35 U.S.C. §103(a) as obvious over Chiu, Schwarzbach, and Lawson;

`(3) The Board’s decision that claims 97–99 and 107–109 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`5,796,183 (Ex. 1001, “the ’183 patent”) were not shown to be
`
`unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. §103(a) as obvious over Chiu,
`
`Schwarzbach, and Meadows;
`
`
`

`
`

`
`Case No. IPR2019-00358
`Attorney Docket No.: 39521-0062IP4
`

`
`analyses;
`
`(6) The Board’s findings that conflict with the evidence of record or are
`
`otherwise not supported by substantial evidence;
`
`(7) The Board’s failure to consider arguments and evidence of record fully
`
`and properly; and
`
`(8) all other issues decided adversely to Petitioner in any orders, decisions,
`
`rulings, and opinions underlying or supporting the Final Written
`
`Decision.
