`PATENT OWNER’S NOTICE OF APPEAL
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2020-01053
`Attorney Docket: 46094-0002IP1
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 141(c) and 142 and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a), Sumitomo
`
`Pharma Co., Ltd.1 (“Patent Owner”) hereby respectfully appeals to the United
`
`States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board’s (“Board’s”) Final Written Decision in Case No. IPR2020-01053, entered
`
`on January 20, 2022 (Paper 32) and the Board’s Decision on Rehearing entered on
`
`July 26, 2022 (Paper 35), as well as from all other underlying orders, decisions,
`
`rulings, and opinions that are adverse to Patent Owner. This appeal is timely under
`
`35 U.S.C. § 142, 37 C.F.R. § 90.3, Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 15(a)(1),
`
`and Federal Circuit Rule 15(a)(1).
`
`For the limited purpose of providing the Director with the information
`
`requested in 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), the issues in Patent Owner’s appeal may
`
`include, but are not limited to:
`
`(1)
`
` The Board’s legally erroneous institution, followed by its ultra vires
`
`carrying on of a trial proceeding under a Section 112 theory that is
`
`not permitted in IPRs, which led to its legally erroneous shift to a
`
`basis for rejection in its final written decision that played no part in
`
`its institution decision;
`
`
`1 Patent Owner Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Co., Ltd. changed its name to
`
`Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. effective April 1, 2022.

`
`(3)
`
`any and all findings or determinations supporting or related to the
`
`aforementioned issues, as well as other issues decided adversely to
`
`Patent Owner in any orders, decisions, rulings, or opinions.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(1), Patent Owner is
`
`filing a copy of this Notice of Appeal with the Director, and a copy of the Notice

`copy of this Notice of Appeal, along with the required docketing fees, is being
