          Interference No. 103,446                                                    


          DOI units of similarly painted steel.  Dzikowski reported the               
          results for the second set of plaques to Sanns on May 2, 1986               
          (SX14).                                                                     
                    After obtaining the first results of the DOI tests                
          in February 1986 from Dzikowski, Sanns prepared a memorandum                
          of invention on February 13, 1986 (SX21).  Dr. Taylor, Sanns'               
          immediate supervisor, remembers reviewing the memorandum of                 
          invention (SR516, 517).  After the memorandum of invention was              
          prepared, the plaques were sent to Florida for weathering                   
          tests (SR256).                                                              
                    In November 1987, Bayer became involved with Ford                 
          Motor Company's project to prepare truck body parts from                    
          plastic (SR263-266).  Ford became interested in Bayer's                     
          reinforced RIM urethanes using mica as a filler, although Ford              
          did not know what filler was used by Bayer.  In March 1988,                 
          molding trials were scheduled in Florence Kentucky but                      
          actually took place in May 1988 (SX44; SX64).                               
                    In early 1988, Marsh prepared additional plaques                  
          using Huber WG-2 mica filler (SR539-540; SX38; SX59)).  In                  
          April 1988, William Bain prepared the plaques for painting and              
          painted the plaques and used similarly painted steel panels
