          Interference No. 101,981                                                     




          Beyers et al. (Beyers) – Serial No. 07/024,653, filed March 11,   1987; and  
          Batlogg et al. (Batlogg) – Serial No. 07/021,229, filed March 3, 1987.8      


          By virtue of their effective filing date of March 3, 1987, Batlogg et al. are the senior party in

          this interference, 37 C.F.R. §§ 1.657 and 1.601(m).                          

               Count 1, the sole count at issue, reads as follows:                     


          Count 1                                                                      

                    A crystalline essentially single phase composition having a perovskite like
          structure, exhibiting zero electrical resistance at a temperature of 700 K or higher, having the
          formula:                                                                     

          A1B2Cu30y                                                                    



          application was originally filed with product and process claims. The        
          examiner required a restriction and Qadri elected to prosecute the           
          product claims now in this interference. Qadri indicated that a              
          “divisional application was filed December 30, 1988. . . .  The              
          divisional application contains the same process claims as were filed in     
          the parent application 07/158,483.”  We now learn (Beyers’ Motion Under      
          37 C.F.R. § 1.635 for Judgment Against Qadri under 37 C.F.R. § 1.616 for     
          Violation of 37 C.F.R. § 1.615; paper no. 245) that a patent (U.S. Patent    
          5,106,829; issued April 21, 1992) has issued from a continuation             
          application (07/587,466, filed September 19, 1990) of that divisional        
          application (07/292,067).                                                    
          8 Batlogg had also filed a CIP (Serial No. 07/024,046, filed March 10,       
          1987). However, Batlogg’s Motion Under § 1.633(d) (paper no. 48) to          
          substitute the CIP 07/024,046 for the parent 07/021,229 in the               
          interference was denied (paper no. 131).  Batlogg does not seek review of    
          the denial of the motion.  Matters not raised in the brief are deemed        
          abandoned.  Photis v. Lunkenheimer, 225 USPQ 948 (Bd. Pat. Int. 1984).
