unpatentable. Accordingly, a count cannot be formulated,
and it is inappropriate to continue to the priority phase of
this interference. Therefore, it is:
ORDERED that judgment as to the subject matter of Count
1 (Paper 1, p. 5) is awarded against both parties;
FURTHER ORDERED that junior party, SHUNONG YANG,
WILLIAM F. McCOY, and ANTHONY W. DALLMIER is not entitled to
a patent containing Claims 1-13 of patent 6,287,473;
FURTHER ORDERED that senior party, ROBERT M. MOORE and
CHRISTOPHER J. NALEPA is not entitled to a patent containing
Claims 6-10 of application 09/785,890;
FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this judgment be made of
record in the files of application 09/785,890 and patent
6,287,473; and
FURTHER ORDERED that if there is any settlement
agreement which has not been filed, the parties shall direct
attention to 35 U.S.C. § 135(c) and 37 CFR 41.205.
