`PETITIONER’S NOTICE OF APPEAL
`

`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. 90.2(a), Petitioner Altaire
`
`Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petitioner”) hereby gives notice of its appeal under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 141(c) to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
`
`from the Final Written Decision (Paper 48) issued by the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board (“the Board”) on November 14, 2016 of the above-captioned
`
`proceeding, and from all other orders, decisions, rulings, and opinions
`
`underlying or related to the Final Written Decision.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), the expected issues on
`
`appeal include, but are not limited to, the Board’s decision that Petitioner did
`
`not show by a preponderance of the evidence that claims 1-13 of U.S. Patent
`
`8,859,623 are unpatentable as obvious over Altaire’s Product and any finding
`
`or determination supporting or relating to that issue, as well as all other issues
`
`decided adversely to Petitioner or not considered in any orders, decisions,
`
`rulings, or opinions.
`
`This Notice of Appeal is being filed simultaneously with the Director of

`the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Board, and the Clerk’s
`
`Office for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
