                                         Cabilly’s second motion to suppress evidence                                                 
                       In its second motion to suppress evidence (Paper 208), Cabilly moves to suppress the                           
               Decision of the EPO in case number T1211/97-3.3.4.  To the extent we relied upon the Decision                          
               of the EPO in case number T1211/97-3.3.4, we did not find the Decision persuasive in                                   
               supporting Glaxo’s position.  Therefore, the suppression of the Decision would not change our                          
               decision and therefore we need not, and have not, decided Cabilly’s second motion to suppress.                         
               Cabilly’s second motion to suppress is DISMISSED as moot.                                                              
                       F.      Redeclaration                                                                                          
                       In the order below the interference is redeclared only to the extent that Count 2 is                           
               substituted for Count 1.  Since Glaxo has not alleged a conception date prior to the filing date of                    
               Cabilly’s ‘419 application filing date, we need not and have not decided whether Cabilly is                            
               entitled to the priority benefit of its ‘457 application or whether Glaxo is entitled to the priority                  
               benefit of its 08/046,893, 08/943,146, or 07/777,730 applications for Count 2.                                         
                       In its preliminary motion 5, Glaxo did not sufficiently explain why the claims that are                        
               designated as corresponding to Count 1 should not also be designated as corresponding to Count                         
               2.24  Nonetheless, when we evaluate the Glaxo claims, we determine that all the Glaxo claims are                       
               appropriately designated as corresponding to Count 2.  Thus, we do not alter the claim                                 
               designations found in the Notice Declaring Interference (Paper 1 at 49).                                               


                       24      We again note that Glaxo states that certain claims of its involved patents should                     
               not correspond to Count 2 “for the reasons set forth in GWI Preliminary Motions 6-9.  The                              
               arguments from Glaxo preliminary motions 6-9 may not be incorporated into Glaxo preliminary                            
               motion 5 by reference to preliminary motions 6-9.  Moreover, Glaxo preliminary motions 6-9 are                         
               dismissed as moot.  Thus, we have not considered Glaxo’s arguments in Glaxo preliminary                                
               motions 6-9.                                                                                                           
                                                                -54-
