Interference No. 104,693 Preputnick v. Provencher 14. Junior party Preputnick filed no opposition or any other response to Senior party Provencher's preliminary motions 1 and 2. 15. Junior party Preputnick's preliminary statement states that the invention of the count was conceived as early as June 10, 1996. 16. Junior party Preputnick's alleged date of conception is subsequent to the accorded benefit date of senior party Provencher. 17. On page 8, lines 3-5 of Provencher's specification, it is stated: ýThe same contacts 410A . . . 41OF can be used to make [e]ither wafers 112 or 114. The only difference is in the housing molded around the contacts." That means each physical set of contacts 410A - 41OF can be used to make either, not both, wafers 112 and 114. 18. The level of ordinary skill in the art with respect to the subject matter of the count is represented by that comparable to a Bachelor degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or physics, and 3 to 8 years of actual experience in developing electrical connectors. 19. Provencher's claim 17 includes the step of: 'securing said first and second half-modules together by engaging complementary fastening portions to define said terminal module."Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
