`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2, Intel
`
`Corporation (“Intel”) hereby provides notice that it appeals to the United States
`
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Board’s Order Dismissing the
`
`Petition, Vacating Institution of Inter Partes Review, and Terminating Inter Partes
`
`Review (“Order”) entered on June 4, 2019 (Paper 66). Please note that the Order in
`
`this matter has been sealed to the public, and currently only the Parties and Board
`
`have access to it. Therefore, it is not attached to this Notice.
`
`Decisions under 35 U.S.C. § 315(b) are reviewable under Wi-Fi One, LLC v.
`
`Broadcom Corp., 878 F.3d 1364, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (en banc) (“We therefore
`
`hold that the time-bar determinations under § 315(b) are appealable.”).
`
`For the limited purpose of providing the Director of the United States Patent
`
`and Trademark Office with the information requested under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`90.2(a)(3)(ii), Intel expects that the issues on appeal may include the following,
`
`along with any underlying findings, determinations, rulings, opinions, orders,
`
`decisions, or other related issues:
`
`•
`
`The Board’s determination that Intel’s IPR Petition is time-barred
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 315(b);
`
`•
`
`The Board’s determination that Dell Inc. (“Dell”) is a real party in
`
`interest; and
`
`
`
`IPR2018-00234
`U.S. PATENT NO. 8,805,948
`The Board’s determination that Intel and Dell are privies.
`
`•
`
`Intel reserves the right to challenge any finding or determination supporting
`
`or relating to the issues listed above. Intel also reserves the right to challenge any
`
`other issues decided against Intel in any order, decision, ruling, or opinion by the
`
`Board in the above-captioned proceeding.
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 142 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2(a), 90.3(a), and 90.3(b)(1),
`
`this Notice is being timely filed with the Director of the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office within 63 days of the Board’s Decision Granting in Part and
`
`Denying in Part Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing (Paper 71), and a copy of this
`
`Notice is being concurrently filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. In
`
`addition, a copy of this Notice is being filed with the Clerk of the United States Court
`
`of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, along with an electronic copy of the Notice and
`
`the required docketing fee, which are being served electronically on the Court by
