                       1 The APJ granted Nabel’s preliminary motion 1 (Paper No. 42) for judgment on                                 
               the ground that Finkel et al.’s claims 19 and 20 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. §                                   
               112, first paragraph, as being based on a specification that fails to provide an adequate                             
               written description of the invention.  Paper No. 102, pp. 13-14.  Finkel did not (i) oppose                           
               the motion in this regard, (ii) file a request for reconsideration of the APJ’s decision (37                          
               C.F.R. § 1.640(c)), or (iii) request a review of the motion at final hearing (37 C.F.R. §                             
               1.640(a)).  Accordingly, the finding of the APJ stands unchallenged.                                                  
                                                                 3
