Interference No. 102,922
Interference No. 103,088
The Dumas record consists of Exhibits 1-22 and the5
declaration testimony of junior party inventor David H. Dumas
(Dumas), deposition testimony of employees of Hercules: Bruce
Evans (Evans) who left Hercules sometime in 1989 to work for
Pfizer, William Hosker (Hosker), Robert Alberts (Alberts),
Thomas Fredericks (Fredericks), Marianne Bleyer (Bleyer), John
Gast (Gast), Jon Techentin (Techentin), Thomas Rienzo
(Rienzo), Allen Kelly (Kelly), and senior party inventor
Robert Gill (Gill), as well as rebuttal testimony of Dumas and
Gast.
The Gill record consists of the declaration and
deposition testimony of Dr. Scott (Scott) and Exhibits 1-3.
The following issues are for our consideration:
1. Did Gill derive the invention from Dumas?
2. Does the Dumas record establish an actual
reduction to practice prior to March 8, 1990, the
effective filing date accorded Gill.
3. Did the work done at Pfizer inure to the benefit
of Dumas?
4. Whether the inventorship of the Dumas
application is correct.
5The records filed in both interferences are identical.
See Paper Nos. 29 and 30 in the ‘088 interference.
