          Osuka v. Moorman                                                            

          LEE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                           
                                      JUDGMENT                                        
               On October 12, 2001, junior party Osuka filed a paper                  
          (Paper No. 17) entitled “Osuka Motion for Adverse Judgment,”                
          in which it stated:                                                         
                    The party Osuka, Noboru Ishikawa, Michiaki                        
               Adachi, Terufumi Hamano, Youichi Kimura and Hiroshi                    
               Hanagasaki (the “Party Osuka”) hereby motions for                      
               adverse judgment.  In requesting such, it is noted                     
               that the claimed invention of this interference is                     
               not practiced by Max Company Co., Ltd., the assignee                   
               of USPN 5,772,096 to the Party Osuka.                                  
          In a telephone conference call on the morning of October 15,                
          2001, and in response to an inquiry from the administrative                 
          patent judge, party Osuka clarified that the last sentence of               
          the above-quoted text is not meant as any condition or                      
          contingency for the junior party’s request for entry of                     
          adverse judgment.  In other words, the request does not depend              
          on anyone’s agreement with Osuka’s characterization of whether              
          its assignee is now practicing the invention claimed in Patent              
          No. 5,772,096.
