               Lane, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                                    

                                                    Judgment-Motions–Bd.R. 127                                                       
                       The claims of Adang’s involved application have been held to be unpatentable on                               
               the basis that they do not comply with the written description requirement of 35 U.S.C.                               
               § 112, ¶1.  Accordingly, Adang lacks standing to continue in this interference.  (See                                 
               Paper 86). Judgment is entered against Adang.                                                                         
                       Upon consideration of the record and for reasons given, it is
