`
`the Board’s consideration and analysis of the expert testimony, prior art, and other
`
`evidence in the record; and the Board’s factual findings, conclusions of law, or other
`
`determinations supporting or relating to the above issues – including constitutionality of
`
`the appointment of PTAB judges.
