securing "the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination" of the interference. 37 CFR § 1.601. To the extent that cur-rent practice may be interpreted as requiring a final hearing with briefing for purposes of "finality",' we deem the hearing on preliminary motions (see Paper 60) to be that "final hearing." 111. Conclusion In response to the order to show cause, Deen states that judgment should not be entered against it because the decision was in error and should be reversed. Deen has not shown the decision to be in error and we do not modify our decision. Accordingly, it is appropriate to enter final judgment against Deen. IV.
