                                                                                               Interference No. 105,043                   
                                                                                                               Page No. 2                 
               and patent, Chevron was Ordered to Show Cause by July 14, 2003 (Paper Nos. 29 and 3 1) why                                 
               this interference should be maintained. 37 C.F.R. §§1.602(a) and 1.640(d).                                                 
                       Chevron has responded to the Order to Show Cause by expressly abandoning the                                       
               involved '412 application. In light of the express abandonment of the '412 application, adverse                            
               judgment is entered against the '412 application. 37 C.F.R. §1.662.                                                        
                       Upon consideration of the record, it is:                                                                           
                       ORDERED that judgment on priority as to Count I (Notice Declaring Interference,                                    
               Paper No. 1), the sole count in the interference, is awarded against the '412 application.                                 
                       FURTHER ORDERED that Chevron Phillips, as assignee of the '412 application, is not                                 
               entitled to a patent containing claims 21-32 of the '412 application, as these claims correspond to                        
               Count 1.                                                                                                                   
                       FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this final decision shall be placed and given a                                     
               paper number in the file of Chevron's U.S. Patent No. 6,239,235 and U.S. Application
