          Interference 102,760                                                        
               required oath, except as otherwise provided in this                    
          title.                                                                      
               Inventors may apply for a patent jointly even though                   
               (1) they did not physically work together or at the same               
               time, (2) each did not make the same type or amount of                 
               contribution, or (3) each did not make a contribution to               
               the subject matter of every claim of the patent.                       
          Accordingly, even if the evidence shows that the full scope of              
          the invention defined by every one of Claims 1-13 of                        
          Application 07/695,325 is not the joint invention of Dement,                
          Rosekind and Schwimmer, Rapoport has not thereby established                
          that Dement, Rosekind and Schwimmer are not properly named as               
          joint inventors of subject matter claimed in Application                    
          07/695,325 under                                                            
          35 U.S.C. § 116.  Thus, it follows that even if the evidence                
          shows that Dement, Rosekind and Schwimmer did not jointly                   
          conceive of the full scope of the invention defined by every                
          one of Claims 1-13 of Application 07/695,325, Rapoport has not              
          thereby established that Dement, Rosekind and Schwimmer are                 
          not properly named as joint inventors of subject matter                     
          claimed in Application 07/695,325 under 35 U.S.C. § 116.                    
          Therefore, even if the evidence to which Rapoport points shows              
          that Dement, Rosekind and Schwimmer did not jointly conceive                
          of the full scope of the invention defined by every one of                  
          Claims 1-13 of Application 07/695,325, Rapoport has not                     
                                         15
