              Interference No. 103,272                                                                                    


              i.e., pH equilibration technology is not a trade secret as alluded to by Dr. Cooper but rather              
              is described in the prior art as evidenced by the patents (HX 15, 16, and 21 to 23).                        
                            For the foregoing reasons, we hold that the party Okamoto has failed to                       
              sustain its burden of persuasion to show a failure to disclose the best mode.
