`
`Petitioner Alarm.com Incorporated hereby appeals from the Final Written Decision
`
`Case IPR2016-00116
`U.S. Patent No. 6,147,601
`
`of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered on May 2, 2017 (Paper 39) in the
`
`above-captioned inter partes review of United States Patent No. 6,147,601, and
`
`from all underlying orders, decisions, rulings and opinions related thereto and
`
`included therein. Patent Owner Vivint, Inc. filed an initial notice of appeal on June
`
`22, 2017. This appeal is timely under 37 C.F.R. § 90.3(a) and Rule 4(a)(3) of the
`
`Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
`
`Once the present appeal is docketed, Petitioner respectfully requests
`
`that the Court consolidate this appeal with the appeals of related inter partes
`
`review proceedings IPR2016-00173 and IPR2016-00161, concurrently filed today,
`
`into one single appeal for briefing and argument. Petitioner further requests that
`
`the Federal Circuit treat this appeal as a cross-appeal from the Patent Owner’s
`
`appeal of related inter partes review proceedings IPR2016-00116, Case No.
`
`17-2218.
`
`For the purposes of 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), the issues on appeal
`
`include the Board’s determination that Petitioner did not show that claims 5, 8, 9,
`
`19–21, 26–28, 30, 31, 33–37 and 39–41 of U.S. Patent No. 6,147,601 are
`
`unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in view of the grounds of unpatentability on
`
`which inter partes review was instituted. The issues on appeal also include any
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00116
`U.S. Patent No. 6,147,601
`
`
`finding or determination supporting or related to the aforementioned issues as well
`
`as all other issues decided adversely to Petitioner in any order, decision, ruling,
`
`phone conference or opinion.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(1), a true and correct copy of this
`
`Notice of Appeal is being mailed simultaneously with the Office of the General
`
`Counsel of the United States Patent and Trademark Office and a true and correct
`
`copy of the same, along with the required docketing fee, is being filed with the
`
