Barton et al or Fischhoff et al v. Adang et al. - Page 52




          Interference 103,781                                                        

          designated as corresponding to Count 2 without dispute and                  
          separate patentable inventions from each other.  Therefore,                 
          Fischhoff’s Preliminary Motion 10 is GRANTED.                               
               Accordingly, Count 2 of this interference is now amended to            
          delete all references therein to Claims 13-14 of Adang’s involved           
          patent and Claims 41-43 of Fischhoff’s involved application; and            
          Claims 13-14 of Adang’s involved patent and Claims 41-43 of                 
          Fischhoff’s involved application are newly designated as not                
          corresponding to amended Count 2.  A formal order setting forth             
          amended new Count 2 and the associated claim correspondence                 
          appears at the end of this opinion.                                         
               Since Fischhoff has not relied on the particular subject               
          matter defined by Claims 41-43 of Fischhoff’s involved                      
          application and Adang has not relied on the particular subject              
          matter defined by Claims 13-14 of Adang’s involved patent to make           
          their respective Cases-In-Chief for priority of the invention of            
          Count 2, we proceed to consider the parties’ Cases-In-Chief with            
          respect to Count 2 as amended to exclude the separate patentable            
          inventions of Claims 41-43 of Fischhoff’s involved application              
          and Claims 13-14 of Adang’s involved patent (hereafter Count 2).            
          4.  Priority of Invention of Count 2                                        
               According to Senior Party Adang’s Brief At Final Hearing,              
          Adang’s Supplemental Preliminary Statement alleges that “Adang’s            

                                        -52-
