Patent Interference No. 105,325 (SCM)
_______________
Before: MARTIN, LEE, and MEDLEY, Administrative Patent Judges.
MEDLEY, Administrative Patent Judge.
Judgment - Bd.R. 127(b) and Bd.R. 201
1 As a result of the decision on motions it was determined that Schofield lacks standing
2 (Bd.R. 201) with respect to Count 3 (Paper 119, pages 15-23) . It was also determined that
3 Stam’s claims 36-40 corresponding to Count 1 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 305 (Paper
4 119, pages 54-57). Stam’s priority statement fails to allege a date that is earlier than Schofield’s
5 accorded benefit date with respect to Count 1 and Count 2.
