          Interference No. 104,320                                                    
          Yamada v. Primo (Count 1)                                                   
          Primo v. Yamada (Count 2)                                                   

               For these claims [which correspond to both counts 1                    
               and 2], the prevailing party on priority with                          
               respect to count 2 would prevail, unless the                           
               opposing party prevails with respect to count 1.                       
               As to count 1, party Yamada has conceded priority to                   
          party Primo.  (Paper No. 30).  Under 37 CFR § 1.662(a), the                 
          concession of priority is treated as a request for entry of                 
          adverse judgment.  The request is granted.                                  
               As to count 2, party Primo has conceded priority to party              
          Yamada.  (Paper No. 29).  Under 37 CFR § 1.662(a), the                      
          concession of priority is treated as a request for entry of                 
          adverse judgment.  The request is granted.                                  
               Although Yamada is the prevailing party with respect to                
          count 2, Yamada is not entitled to those Yamada claims which                
          correspond to both counts 1 and 2, and Primo is entitled to                 
          those Primo claims which correspond to both counts 1 and 2,                 
          because party Primo has prevailed with respect to count 1.                  
               Judgment as to the subject matter of count 1 is hereby                 
          awarded to party Primo.  Accordingly, Sadami Yamada, Nobuyoshi              
          Nakajima, Masaaki Ohtsuka, and Shuji Kuhara are not entitled                
          to their claims 1, 2 and 3 of Patent No. 5,237,358, which                   
          correspond to count 1.  On this record, Henri A. Primo and                  

                                          3
