Appeal No. 96-2905
Application No. 29/008,076
Alappat, 33 F.3d at 1536, 31 USPQ2d at 1551. The Federal
Circuit in Alappat simply did not analyze the impact of Utica
Packing Co. v. Block, 781 F.2d 71 (6th Cir. 1986), which was
cited by Amicus Curiae FCBA, since due process was no longer
at issue before the court.
Finally, I take exception to what appears to be the
majority's reliance on the SOP (standing operating procedure)
to justify the procedural due process requirement raised by
appellant. The majority has not established that the SOP
itself complies with the procedural due process requirement,
i.e., does not deprive appellant of a property right without
due process of law.
