              Interference No.  105,193                                                                                     
              Ginter v. Benson                                                                                              
              count.  Neither party filed any such motion.  It is now time appropriate to enter judgment                    
              according to the priority decision of April 11, 2005.                                                         
                     In a telephone conference call on June 8, 2005, between Judge Lee and respective counsel               
              for the parties, the parties jointly requested a stay of entry of judgment in this case until judgment        
              is entered in a related interference (Interference No. 105,142) that also involves the two Benson             
              applications involved in this interference and even the same claims of the two Benson                         
              applications that are involved in this case, among other claims.  The parties would like judicial             
              review of the decisions in these two related interferences to proceed jointly and not in a staggered          
              manner.  We understand the parties’ desire and concerns.  However, it appears to us that the                  
              appropriate course of action for the parties is to seek a stay of the first judicial proceeding, rather       
              than a delay of entry of judgment by the Board in this case.  Accordingly, the request for a stay of          
              entry of judgment is denied, and it is                                                                        
                     ORDERED that judgment as to the subject matter of Count 1, the sole count in this                      
              interference, is herein entered against senior party GREG BENSON, GREGORY H. URICH and                        
              CHRISTOPHER L. KNAUFT;                                                                                        
                     FURTHER ORDERED that the senior party GREG BENSON, GREGORY H. URICH                                    
              and CHRISTOPHER L. KNAUFT is not entitled to claims 30-32, 34-41, 44-46, 48, 51, 56, 58-                      
              66, 68 and 69 of its involved application 09/164,606, which correspond to Count 1;                            
                     FURTHER ORDERED that the senior party GREG BENSON, GREGORY H. URICH                                    
              and CHRISTOPHER L. KNAUFT is not entitled to claims 1-3, 5-12, 15-17, 19, 22, 27, 29-37,                      
              and 39-53 of its involved application 09/321,386, which correspond to Count 1;                                
                     FURTHER ORDERED that if there is a settlement agreement, the parties should note                       
              the requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 135(c) and Bd. Rule 205;                                                      



                                                             2
