          decision on preliminary motions entered on September 30, 1998,              
          the Administrative Patent Judge (APJ), inter alia, added

          Lim patent

          the senior party’s filing date in its preliminary statement.                
                    In response to the addition of the second Lim patent              
          to the interference, Lim requested reconsideration.  After                  
          allowing the parties to fully brief the issue, the APJ
