Appeal No. 96-3204 Application 08/129,636 evidence in the case before us on appeal of an intent to abandon the invention. In sum, after reviewing the facts and the cases cited, both pro and con, it is our opinion that the examiner has not shown, by clear and convincing evidence, that appellants abandoned their invention within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 102(c). Accordingly, the examiner's rejection of claims 10 through 30 and 32 through 39 is reversed. REVERSED NEAL E. ABRAMS ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT CHARLES E.
