RAPOPORT V. DEMENT et al. - Page 35




          Interference 102,760                                                        
               to suppress are dismissed as moot, since the evidence in               
               toto is insufficient to demonstrate unpatentability.                   
               On August 4, 1994, Dement et al. also filed a Motion To                
          Suppress Cross-Examination Testimony Under 37 C.F.R. §1.635                 
          and §1.656(h)(Paper No. 101).  On page 16 of its Decision                   
          mailed April 12, 1996 (Paper No. 112), the Board dismissed                  
          this motion as moot:                                                        
                    The Dement et al. motion to suppress the cross-                   
               examination of Dr. Schwimmer on the question of improper               
               inventorship is dismissed as moot inasmuch as we did not               
               consider that testimony in deciding to grant Rapoport a                
               testimony period on his motion.                                        
               As indicated above, all Dement et al. motions to suppress              
          evidence appear to have been dismissed.  Rapoport is not                    
          entitled to raise dismissed motions at final hearing.  See 37               
          CFR                                                                         
          § 1.655(b).                                                                 
               Moreover, Dement et al. acknowledge that “Rapoport                     
          Exhibits 12-21 and 24-41 are documents produced by Dement et                
          al to Rapoport; and Rapoport Exhibits 42, 43 and 44 are                     
          documents which were attached to the Rapoport ‘Motion Under 37              
          C.F.R. §1.633(a)’ which was served on Dement et al on June 10,              
          1992" (Motion To Suppress Documentary Evidence Under 37 C.F.R.              
          §1.635 And §1.656(h)(Paper No. 101), p. 1, footnote 1).  Thus,              
          the documentary evidence or other exhibits were sufficiently                
                                         35
