          No. 79) was timely filed because (1) the APJ presented a new                
          interpretation of the claim language in his decision on                     
          Dolle’s motion, (2) Dolle’s motion generated “the                           
          impossibility of homo-polymerizing ethylene to provide                      
          isotactic or syndiotactic polymer structures”, and                          
          (3) the APJ newly decided that Dolle’s claims are not directed              
          to compounds, catalysts, and processes for homopolymerizing                 
          ethylene to provide isotactic or syndiotactic polymer                       
          structures (Paper No. 82, pp. 2-3, bridging para.).                         
               LL. November 12, 1998 -- The APJ entered Decision On                   
          Ewen Motion Under Motion Under 37 CFR § 1.635 For Entry Of                  
          Paper Returned Under 37 CFR § 1.618(a) Or, Alternatively,                   
          Request                                                                     
          For Reconsideration Of Decision Returning Paper Under 37 CFR                
          § 1.618(a)(Paper 82)(Paper No. 83).  The APJ dismissed the                  
          motion as improper under 37 CFR § 1.635, considered the motion              
          as a request for reconsideration, and denied the request                    
          (Paper No. 82, p. 2, second and third para.).  First, the APJ               
          found that Ewen had ample opportunity to present evidence                   
          regarding the correct interpretation of the phrase “sequence                
          length” in Dolle’s claims (Paper No. 82, pp. 2-4).  Second,                 
          the APJ stated (Paper No. 82, p. 4, final para.):                           

                                         37
