Interference No. 104,785
Page No. 5
IV. Both Goodall and Takechi’s Proposed Amendments are Entered
Goodall does not oppose entry of Takechi’s Proposed Amendment (Paper No. 23) and
Takechi does not oppose entry of Goodall’s Proposed Amendment (Paper No. 27). Goodall has
also requested adverse judgement as to Goodall claims 3-4 and 17-22, which are generally
directed to compositions containing polymers formed via ring-opening polymerization. Further,
both parties have requested that no interference-in-fact be found between the parties remaining
amended claims.
The parties proposed amendments to the claims clarify the scope of their respective
inventions. The proposed amendments simplify the issues presented for consideration and are
entered. Additionally, we concur with the parties assessment that the parties amended claims do
not interfere-in-fact. Thus, entry of the parties’ proposed amendments and Goodall’s request for
adverse judgment will resolve all issues in the interference. As such, we grant entry of
Goodall’s Proposed Amendment (Paper No. 27), Takechi Revised Proposed Amendment (Paper
No. 28) and Goodall’s Contingent Concession of Priority (Paper No. 24, p. 1).
V. Order
ORDERED that Goodall Proposed Amendment (Paper No. 27) be entered into Goodall
et al, U.S. Application No. 09/630,894.
