          Appeal No. 2000-0872                                                        
          Application No. 08/852,119                                                  


          be sufficient evidence of conception prior to May 14, 1993 and              
          due diligence up to the filing of the application on May 18,                
          1993.  Accordingly, we must reverse the rejections under                    
          35 U.S.C. §§ 102(e) and 103, as the Ross patents no longer                  
          qualify as prior art against appellant.                                     
                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 through 21,            
          23 through 35, 37 through 41, 43 through 47, and 49 under                   
          35 U.S.C. § 102(e) and claims 36, 42, and 48 under 35 U.S.C.                
          § 103 is reversed.                                                          
                                      REVERSED
