Putnam v. Knudsen Interference No. 104,383 On the afternoon of March 30, 2000, a telephone conference was conducted between the administrative patent judge and respective counsel for the junior and senior party. In the telephone conference, Mr. Allen Putnam representing the junior party indicated that the junior party’s abandonment of the invention is not conditioned upon any ruling by the Board as to the patentability of either party’s claims over the supplied information. The junior party’s request for entry of adverse judgment against the junior party is granted. Because the junior party has abandoned its invention corresponding to the Count and because the junior party has not and does not intend to file a motion for judgment under 37 CFR § 1.633(a) against the senior party’s claims, the request for a ruling of unpatentability against both parties’ claims over prior art is denied. It is ORDERED that judgment as to the subject matter of the Count is herein awarded in favor of senior party MARK F. KNUDSEN; FURTHER ORDERED that judgment as to the subject matter of the Count is awarded against junior party ALLEN PUTNAM; - 3 -Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
