`
`Owner Uniloc 2017 LLC. (“Patent Owner”) hereby provides notice that it appeals to the

`
`rulings, and opinions, including without limitation, the institution decision entered

`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Patent Owner states that the issues

`for appeal include, but are not limited to: the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (“Board”)’s
`
`determinations in the institution decision that there is a reasonable likelihood that claims
`
`1 and 2 of the ’676 patent are unpatentable and the Board’s subsequent determination
`
`that claims 1 and 2 of the ’676 patent are unpatentable; 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.
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a), this Notice is being filed with
`
`the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Simultaneous with this
`
`submission, a copy of this Notice is being filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
`
`In addition, a copy of this Notice, along with the required docketing fees, is being filed
