JUDGMENT
(PURSUANT TO 37 CFR § 1.658)
INTRODUCTION
After consideration of the briefs, the evidence, and the oral argument on priority, we
conclude from the preponderance of the facts before us that junior party Griffin has failed to
establish a reduction to practice before senior party Bertina's effective filing date.
35 U.S.C. § 135(c) Notice: Failure to file a copy of any agreement regarding the termination of this proceeding may
render the agreement and any resulting patents unenforceab le. See section 135(c) and 37 CFR § 1.661 for more details.
