Interference No. 103,675
"confirmed" Dr. Chen's belief based on his proposed structure for the
compounds he submitted.
Accordingly, Chen et al.'s "proofs" do not establish that
any compound defined by any of the counts was actually prepared prior
to Bouchard et al.'s effective filing date because the "proofs" do not
adequately identify any particular compound which reads on any
compound within any count. To the extent Chen et al. have proffered
probative objective evidence in support of their case for priority we
find that the evidence lacks adequate corroboration by any non-
inventor. While Chen et al. tested various materials for utility, none
of the materials tested was adequately identified as a compound within
