                    The University of Massachusetts (UMass) has filed a preliminary motion under 37 CFR                   
             § 1.633(g) (Paper 29) attacking the benefit of the December 23, 1993, filing date of Application No.         
             08/172,385 accorded to Infigen. We deny the motion. Since no other preliminary motions remain
