`
`Judgment – Merits – Bd.R. 127

`
`in the specification. Moreover, Omura’s motion to add a claim to the interference
`
`was denied. Accordingly, Omura is without standing to continue in the
`
`interference.
`
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`
`
`ORDERED that judgment is entered against Omura for count 1
`
`(Paper 1 at 4);
`
`
`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that claims 1-18, 33-36, 48 and 49 of
`
`Omura’s involved patent are CANCELLED, 35 U.S.C. § 135(a); and
`
`
`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall note the requirements of
`
`10
`
`35 U.S.C. § 135(c) and Bd.R. 205; and
`
`11
`
`
`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this judgment be entered in the
`
`12
`
`administrative records of the involved Omura patent and Shafer application.
