`Interference No. 105,834
`
`In a concurrent paper, we denied Omura’s motion to designate Omura
`claims 25-32, 37-39, and 45-47 as not corresponding to Count 1. We also
`determined that all of Omura’s involved claims are unpatentable under 35
`U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, for lack of written description in the
`specification. 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 25-32, 37-39, and 43-47 of
`Omura’s involved patent are CANCELLED, 35 U.S.C. § 135(a);
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall note the requirements
`of 35 U.S.C. § 135(c) and Bd. R. 205; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this judgment be entered in
`the administrative records of the involved Omura patent and Shafer
`application.
