Interference No. 102,755 activities by Stimson at an Atlanta show and an "XB-70 motion" alleging prior use of the braking system by a non-party, North American Rockwell Corporation, on the XB-70 aircraft. In addition, Nedelk has moved without opposition to strike Stimson's "reply brief" (i.e., surreply brief) for final hearing, which motion is hereby granted. Finally, Stimson4 has moved to suppress evidence relied on by Nedelk in support of his priority case and his belated § 1.633(a) motions. We will begin with priority. B. Priority Nedelk does not dispute that Stimson was properly accorded the benefit of the February 8, 1989, filing date of U.S. Application Serial No. 07/307,633 and the February 16, 1988, filing date of British Application No. 880354 with respect to the count. Stimson's earliest alleged date of invention at final hearing is his February 16, 1988, British benefit date. The briefs which are entitled to consideration are4 Nedelk's main brief (NMB), Stimson's main brief (SMB), and Nedelk's reply brief (NRB). Nedelk's records and exhibits for final hearing are identified by NR and NE, respectively. Stimson filed no record or exhibits for final hearing. - 3 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
