`
`Owner GUI Global Products, Ltd. (“Patent Owner”) hereby provides notice that it
`

`
`orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions, including without limitation, the institution
`
`decision entered August 13, 2021 (Paper 10).
`
`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 1–10 and 16–19 of the ’020 patent are unpatentable and the
`
`Board’s subsequent determination that claims 1–10 and 16–19 of the ’020 patent are
`
`unpatentable; the Board’s consideration and analysis of the petition, response and
`
`untimely reply arguments; expert testimony, prior art, and other evidence in the record;
`
`and the Board’s factual findings, explicit and implicit claim constructions, conclusions
`
`of law and/or other determinations supporting or relating to the above issues; the
`
`constitutionality of the appointment of PTAB judges and whether the IPR process
`
`violates due process; as well as other issues decided adversely to Patent Owner in
`
`any orders, decisions and rulings.
`
`This notice of appeal is being filed and served concurrently with notices of
`
`appeal for IPR2021-00471 involving U.S. Patent No. 10,259,021; IPR2021-00472
