`
`Judgment – Request for Adverse – Bd.R. 127(b)
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`On 26 August 2009, Omura filed “OMURA RESPONSE 1 (to Shafer
`Substantive Motion No. 1)” (Paper 47), in which Omura concedes that Omura’s
`involved patent does not provide written description support for certain claim
`terms found in all of Omura’s involved claims. (Paper 47 at 2:4-10). Omura also
`does not seek to add new claims. The concession is construed as a request for
`entry of adverse judgment. 37 C.F.R. §41.127(b)(3). The request is granted.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that judgment as to the subject matter of Count 1 (Paper
`
`
`1 at 4) is entered against Omura;
`FURTHER ORDERED that claims 21-24 of Omura’s involved
`
`
`patent are CANCELLED, 35 U.S.C. § 135(a); and
`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.
