PATENT INTERFERENCES NO. 102,922 & 103,088 DUMAS V. GILL - Page 31




          Interference No. 102,922                                                    
          Interference No. 103,088                                                    
          1.633 or 1.634 and the motion was denied or deferred to final               
          hearing.                                                                    
          The Board, in the interest of justice, may also exercise its                
          discretion to consider an issue.                                            
               Gill filed a motion to strike Dumas’ preliminary                       
          statement; he does not now seek review of that motion.  Gill                
          filed no other motions, he did not file a motion for judgment               
          pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.633(a) that Dumas was not entitled to                
          his claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102(f/g).  Accordingly, we will                
          not consider Gill's arguments now raised with respect to the                
          inventorship of the                                                         
          Dumas application.  In addition, Gill does not ask us to                    
          exercise our discretion, and we do not find it necessary to do              
          so.                                                                         
               In view of our findings above, junior party Dumas is                   
          entitled to prevail in both interferences and judgment is so                
          entered.                                                                    









                                         31
