Interference No. 103,146
abandoned in favor of continuation application Serial
No. 06/741,396, which itself was abandoned in favor of
continuation application Serial No. 06/786,999 filed on
October 15, 1985. The Elson et al. application is assigned 4
to Baxter International, Inc.
The Elson applications contain disclosure directed
to two embodiments. The embodiment of Figures 2 and 4 is
directed to the subject matter of the count. Claims directed
to the embodiment in Figures 5 and 6, the so-called latex disk
embodiment, were held to be unpatentable to Elson in an ex
parte appeal to this Board in 1993. With the filing of the
involved Elson '999 application, Elson filed a preliminary
amendment
containing claims 50-59 which were said to have been copied
from the Barker patent for interference purposes.
Both parties filed records and briefs. The junior
party filed a reply brief. Counsel for both parties appeared
at final hearing.
