instant application. Co-authorship does not raise a presumption of inventorship with
respect to the peptides ctuf and ctuf disclosed in the publication. Nor does co-author-2 4

reaver inventorship in the face of a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102(f).
The rejection of claims 1 through 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(f) is reversed.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, for the reasons set forth in the body of this opinion, the examiner's
decision rejecting claims 1 through 6 is reversed.
