PEREZ-SOLAER et al v. KHOKHAR et al v. KHOKHAR et al v. MAEDA et al - Page 9




          Interference No. 103,352                                                    

          require the filing of a separate motion paper along with the                
          brief.                                                                      
               Additionally, dismissal of the motion is based on the fact             
          that Maeda did not raise a timely objection to the admissibility            
          of evidence introduced by Khokhar.                                          
               A party that failed to challenge the admissibility of                  
          evidence by timely objection may not later do so at final hearing           
          via a motion to suppress.  37 CFR 1.656(h).  In the absence of an           
          order setting a specific date for filing objections, a timely               
          objection to the admission of evidence should have been made as             
          soon as possible after the evidence was offered.  See Myers v.              
          Feigelman, 455 F.2d 596, 602 n.12, 172 USPQ 580, 585 n.12,                  
          (CCPA 1972); Rivise and Caesar, Interference Law and Practice,              
          Vol III, § 452, 453 (Michie Co. 1947).                                      
               Even assuming, arguendo, that Maeda had raised a timely                
          objection and filed its motion to suppress with its opening                 
          brief, we find the arguments presented in the motion to be                  
          unpersuasive on the merits at least with respect to the                     
          admissibility of exhibits KX 3-5.  In this regard, we take note
