Interference 103,781
5,567,600, entitled “Synthetic Insecticidal Crystal Protein
Gene,” issued October 22, 1996, from U.S. Application 08/369,835,
filed January 6, 1995). A jury rendered a verdict that
(1) defendants’ products did not literally infringe any of the
contested claims of Mycogen’s patents, and (2) all of the
contested claims of Mycogen’s patents are invalid because
Monsanto invented the subject matter thereof before the priority
dates of Mycogen’s patents. See the Procedural History in
Mycogen Plant Sci., Inc. v. Monsanto Co., 243 F.3d 1316, 1320-
1321, 58 USPQ2d 1030, 1033-1034 (Fed. Cir. 2001)(Paper No. 125).

1128, 1134 (Fed. Cir. 1998)(Paper No. 118, Exhibit A). The court
instructed “the Board to continue the three-party interference
until the Board determines the final count and discovery is
complete.” Barton v. Adang, 162 F.3d at 1146, 49 USPQ2d at 1134.
