`c/o Office of the General Counsel, 10B20
`United States Patent and Trademark Office
`P.O. Box 1450
`Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450
`via CM/ECF
`United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
`
`
`

`

`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 141-142 and 319, 37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2-90.3, Federal
`
`Rule of Appellate Procedure 15, and Federal Circuit Rule 15, Patent Owner Parus
`
`Holdings, Inc. (“Patent Owner”) hereby provides notice that it appeals to the United
`
`States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Final Written Decision of
`
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) entered on October 19, 2021 (Paper
`
`No. 31) (the “Final Written Decision”), and from all underlying findings,
`
`determinations, rulings, opinions, orders, issues, and decisions regarding the inter
`
`partes review of United States Patent No. 7,076,431 (the “’431 Patent”). This Notice
`
`of Appeal and petition for review of the Final Written Decision is timely under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 90.3(a)(1), having been filed within 63 days of the Final Written Decision.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), Patent Owner states that the
`
`issues and determinations to be challenged on appeal include, but are not limited to:
`
`(i) the Board’s determination that Patent Owner’s earlier conception and reduction
`
`to practice arguments were not in compliance with Rule 42.6(a)(3) and thus were
`
`improperly incorporated by reference; (ii) the Board’s further determination that it
`
`would not consider Patent Owner’s earlier conception and reduction to practice
`
`arguments and evidence in this proceeding; (iii) the Board’s determination that
`
`claims 1, 2, 4-7, 9, 10, 13, and 14 of the ’431 Patent were shown to be obvious under
`
`35 U.S.C. § 103(a) and thus are unpatentable; (iv) the Board’s interpretation of the
`
`prior art; (v) the Board’s legal errors in undertaking its obviousness analysis; (vi) the
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`Board’s findings that conflict with the evidence of record or are otherwise
`
`unsupported by substantial evidence; (vii) the Board’s failure to consider evidence
`
`of record fully and properly; and (viii) any other findings or determinations
`
`supporting or relating to these issues as well as all other issues decided adversely to
`
`Patent Owner in any orders, decisions, rulings, or opinions in this proceeding.
`
`Simultaneously with this submission, Patent Owner is filing a true and correct
`
`copy of this Notice of Appeal with the Director of the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office as well as a true and correct copy of the same, along with the
`
`required filing fee, with the Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the
`
`Federal Circuit as set forth in the accompanying Certificate of Filing.
