Interference No. 103,197
(Fed. Cir. 1988). Morrison fails to meet this burden with
respect to at least the spring and summer of 1988 for the same
reasons that he failed to show diligence during that period.
I. Requests for reconsideration
A request for reconsideration of a decision by a panel of
the Board must specify with particularity the points believed
to have been misapprehended or overlooked by the panel in
rendering its decision. 37 CFR § 1.658(b). Specifically, a
party requesting reconsideration must point to something in
the decision which demonstrates the panel overlooked or
misunderstood a significant point of argument made in the
motion, opposition or reply. It is not enough to show that
the argument is not specifically mentioned in the decision; in
the absence of a clear indication to the contrary, the parties
should presume that all arguments were considered.
J. Judgment
As neither Morrison nor Mannheimer has proved an actual
reduction to practice prior to Buschmann's benefit date or
conception prior that date coupled with diligence running from
just before that date up to the party's own filing date,
judgment on the issue of priority is hereby entered against
