Interference No. 105,113
Ritzdorf's reliance on this annealing apparatus is misplaced because it is not described as having
surrounding sides, as required to satisfy the "thermal anneal chamber" limitation of claim 73, on

In summary, Cheung Preliminary Motion 2 is granted with respect to Ritzdorf's claims
74-77 and denied with respect to claims 68-73. Accordingly, in a separate judgment paper being
mailed herewith, judgment is being entered against Ritzdorf's claims 74-77 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, first paragraph, for lacking written description support in Ritzdorf's involved application.
