Interference No. 103,669
said projection having a surface adapted
to contact a surface of said cartridges in
such manner as to maintain engagement with
said top one of said cartridges when said
magazine is gripped by said one hand for
depressing said top one of said cartridges
away from said opening against said biasing
means in response to a bending/depressing
thumb motion; whereby another of said
cartridges can be manually loaded into
said magazine by using the other hand.
The claims of the parties that correspond to the
count are:
Steitz Claims 1-18
Bentley Claims 2, 18, 20, 21, 27 and 28
The interference was declared on November 19, 1996.
Although both parties designated lead attorneys pursuant to
37 CFR § 1.613, the senior party has chosen to stand on his
filing date and has not filed any other papers. The junior
party filed a preliminary statement, took testimony in the
form of declarations, filed a record, and filed a brief for
final hearing. The senior party did not request cross-
examination and filed no brief. An oral argument at final
hearing was waived by the junior party. Accordingly, the
sole issue for our consideration is the junior party’s
priority case.
