          Appeal No. 1997-2021                                                        
          Application No. 08/500,231                                                  


          video booth before or after the critical date of March 22,                  
          1987.  There is also no statement as to where the booth was                 
          located when it was seen by the declarant.  His subsequently                
          filed declaration filed on July 31, 1995, does not cure these               
          defects even though it does indicate that a sense of                        
          confidentiality was agreed to while at the same time no year                
          was specified as to when he observed the prototype booth in                 
          the Commercial Craft facility.  Again, since this was a                     
          subsequently filed declaration, we remain unpersuaded that he               
          agreed to any sense of confidentiality before the critical                  
          date.                                                                       
               In essence, we remain unconvinced that all of the people               
          who observed the prototype video booth in operation before the              
          critical date agreed to the confidentiality and limited                     
          control thereof at the Commercial Craft facility as required                
          at the direction of the presiding judge in the Federal                      
          District Court discussed earlier in this opinion and noted at               
          the top of page 3 of our earlier opinion.  Even if we consider              
          collectively both                                                           


          declarations from each of the three declarants, McLaughlin,                 
                                          7
