`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 141-142 and 319, 5 U.S.C. §§ 701-706, 28 U.S.C.
`
`IPR2020-00203
`U.S. Patent 6,408,193
`
`
`
`§ 1295(a)(4)(A), and 28 U.S.C. § 1651, and in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2-
`
`90.3, and Federal Circuit Rule 15(a)(1), notice is hereby given that Petitioner
`
`Apple Inc. appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the
`
`Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review entered on July 6, 2020 (Paper
`
`12) in IPR2020-00203, attached as Exhibit A, and all prior and interlocutory
`
`rulings related thereto or subsumed therein.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Petitioner states that the issues
`
`for appeal include, but are not limited to:
`
`(1) whether the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) exceeded its
`
`statutory authority and violated the text, structure, and purpose of the Leahy-Smith
`
`America Invents Act, 35 U.S.C. §§ 311-319 (AIA), and Administrative Procedure
`
`Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 701-706 (APA), by adopting a rule—and applying that rule to
`
`deny institution here—that purports to authorize the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`(Board) to deny institution of inter partes review (IPR) based on non-statutory,
`
`discretionary factors related to the pendency of parallel patent-infringement
`
`litigation;
`
`(2) whether the PTO exceeded its statutory authority and violated the APA
`
`by adopting a rule governing institution decisions—and applying the rule to deny

`
`
`institution here—that incorporates non-statutory, discretionary factors that are
`
`IPR2020-00203
`U.S. Patent 6,408,193
`
`arbitrary and capricious;
`
`(3) whether the PTO exceeded its statutory authority and violated the AIA
`
`and the APA by adopting a rule to govern all institution decisions—and applying
`
`that rule to deny institution here—without following the procedures for notice-and-
`
`comment rulemaking; and
`
`(4) whether the court of appeals has jurisdiction over this appeal,
`
`notwithstanding 35 U.S.C. § 314(d), because the PTO acted in excess of its
`
`statutory authority and outside its statutory limits or because the grounds for
`
`attacking the decision to deny institution depend on statutes, including the APA,
`
`that are less closely tied to the application and interpretation of statutes related to
`
`the decision to initiate IPR.
`
`This Notice of Appeal is timely, having been duly filed 30 days after the
`
`date of the Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review.
`
`A copy of this Notice of Appeal is being filed simultaneously with the
`
`Board, the Clerk’s Office for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
`
`Circuit, and the Director of the PTO.
