               Interference No. 105,028                                                                                          

               Additional Views:                                                                                                 
               LEE and SCHAFER, Administrative Patent Judges.                                                                    
               LEE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                                 
                      The parts of Holbrooks’ Attachment B showing the purported profiles of its finger 105 or                   
               205 are reproduced below:                                                                                         












               If the profile of Holbrooks’ disclosed fingers really were as shown above, it may be an effective                 
               rebuttal to Bacchi’s charge of lack of written description.  However, the off-set or recessed                     
               concept of these illustrations does not stem from any referenced disclosure in the specification                  
               but is evidently created for the purpose of opposing Bacchi’s motion.  It is disturbing that                      
               Holbrooks would present and rely on these illustrations as though they are what the specification                 
               describes, without citing any part of the specification and without any explanation.                              
                      What Holbrooks said about these illustrations are:  (1) “A side view of the Holbrooks                      
               finger within the scope of the Holbrooks applications is shown in Attachment B”; and (2) “One                     
               skilled in the art would recognize that the profile of the Holbrooks finger 105 or 205 and the post
