          for inter partes testing under 37 CFR § 1.639(g)(Hofvander                  
          Motion 5 (sic 6)(Paper No. 66)).

          amend Hofvander’s Proposed Count H-14 to correct an inadvertent             
          error (Hofvander Motion 6 [sic 7](Paper No. 67)).                           
               December 24, 1996 - An Administrative Patent Judge (APJ)               
          decided the parties’ preliminary motions as follows (Paper                  
          No. 74).                                                                    
               (1)  Visser’s Preliminary Motion 1 (VPM 1)(Paper No. 17)               
               for judgment of no interference-in-fact was denied for the             
               following reasons (Paper No. 74, pp. 4-5):                             

               4    Proposed Count H-1 (amended)                                      
                    A homologous construct of the potato plant                        
               comprising a full length potato granule-bound starch                   
               synthase (PGBSS) cDNA or genomic DNA,                                  
                                         or                                           
               an antisense construct for inhibiting expression of the                
               gene for granule-bound starch synthase in potato,                      
               comprising                                                             
                    a)   a promoter, and                                              
                    b)   a fragment of the potato gene coding for                     
                         granule-bound starch synthase inserted in                    
                         the antisense direction, wherein said fragment               
                         has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 1.                 
                                         -9-
