Interference No. 103,675
Chen et al. filed their application Serial Number 08/029,891
on March 11, 1993, before application Serial Number 08/006,423 became
abandoned. Said application matured to U.S. Patent Number 5,254,580,
which issued on October 19, 1993, and is Chen et al.'s involved patent
in this proceeding. On April 16, 1993, Chen et al. filed an IDS (Paper
Number 2). On May 5, 1993, responsive to the filing of the application
and the IDS, the examiner mailed a Notice of Allowability and a Notice
of Allowance and Issue Fee Due. On June 4, 1993, Chen et al. filed a
"Preliminary Amendment" correcting several typographical errors in the
specification and claims of the application (Paper Number 4). In
response to Paper Number 4, the examiner sent a second Notice of
Allowability and Notice of Allowance and Issue Fee Due on June 24,
1993 (Paper Number 5). Chen et al. responded by filing on June 26,
1993, an authorization to charge applicants' deposit account the
requisite issue fees.
In an unnumbered paper created by the examiner on May 23,
1995, Chen et al. were advised pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.607(d) that
an applicant for patent was seeking to provoke an interference with
Chen et al.'s patent. In a letter mailed on October 24, 1995, APJ Mary
F. Downey, in the performance of her interlocutory duties, informed
Chen et al. and Bouchard et al. that this proceeding was declared as
Interference Number 103,675.
