                                          Judgment - Bd. R. 127(b) - Requested

               TORCZON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                                
                       In a conference call with the parties on 18 May 2005, Scripps stated that it would                           
               not contest priority.  This statement is treated as a request for adverse judgment.                                  
               Bd.R. 127(b).  Consequently, judgment is entered against all of Scripps' involved claims.                            
               Consistent with the decision in Paper 99, judgment is also entered against specific                                  
               Nemerson claims.  Nemerson filed the amendment authorized in Paper 99 to overcome                                    
               one basis for unpatentability.                                                                                       
                       DECIDED that judgment on priority be entered against Scripps for the subject                                 
               matter of the count;                                                                                                 
                       FURTHER DECIDED that Scripps' patent claims 1 and 2 be canceled;
