            Interference No. 104,191                                                                     


            MARTIN, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                         
                        As a result of Omnipoint's common ownership of the                               
            involved junior party patent and the involved senior party                                   
            application, the APJ ordered Omnipoint to show cause why                                     
            judgment should not be entered on priority grounds in favor of                               
            the senior party and against the junior party (paper No. 12).                                
            Omnipoint responded to the show cause order by identifying the                               
            senior party as the first inventor and requesting the entry of                               
            judgment in favor of the senior party (paper No. 15).  That                                  
            request is being construed as a request under § 1.662(a) for                                 
            entry of adverse judgment against junior party Honig et al. for                              
            lack of priority, which request is granted.  As a result, Honig                              
            et al. are not entitled to a patent containing their patent                                  
            claims that correspond to the count, i.e., claims 1-18.                                      
            Judgment therefore is awarded to Jensen et al., who are entitled                             
            to a patent containing their application claims that correspond                              
            to the count, i.e., claims 10-21.
