              Henkel v. P&G                                                                   Page 6                       
                     to be unpatentable (“DECISION - REHEARING - Bd. R. 125(c),” Paper 81, pp. 2-                          
                     3).                                                                                                   
              16.    Each party was to address specifically whether the subject matter of any of                           
                     P&G’s involved claims anticipates or renders obvious the subject matter,                              
                     including the expressly recited less than 40% surface area and 40% volume                             
                     limitations, of Henkel’s ‘434 application claim 41 or ‘578 application claim 44,                      
                     respectively, and whether the subject matter of either of Henkel’s ‘434                               
                     application claim 41 or ‘578 application claim 44 anticipates or renders obvious                      
                     the subject matter, including the expressly recited differential dissolution rate “on                 
                     a weight by weight basis, using a SOTAX dissolution test method,” of any of                           
                     P&G’s ‘564 patent claims (id.).                                                                       
              17.    Henkel timely filed “HENKEL CORPORATION’S PAPER IN SUPPORT OF                                         
                     INTERFERENCE-IN-FACT” (Paper 82).                                                                     
              18.    P&G timely filed “THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY’S MISCELLANEOUS                                        
                     MOTION 7" (Paper 83) wherein it argued that there is no interference-in-fact.                         
              19.    Although both parties were authorized to file oppositions (Paper 81, p. 3), only                      
                     Henkel filed “HENKEL OPPOSITION 7" (Paper 85).                                                        
              20.    The parties relied, in part, on declarations by Drs. Blasey (“Blasey II,” Ex 2029)                    
                     and Scheper (“Scheper II,” Ex 1021).                                                                  
              21.    Both Drs. Blasey and Scheper testified that
