- 2 -
Dlugokecki et al. have filed a concession of priority,
which we are treating pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.662(a) as a request
for entry of adverse judgment against their claims that
correspond to the count. Accordingly, judgment as to the subject
matter of the count is hereby entered against Dlugokecki et al.'s
patent claims 1-27, which means Dlugokecki et al. are not
entitled to a patent containing those claims. Judgment as to the
subject matter of the count therefore is awarded in favor of
Strobel et al., who are entitled to their claims that correspond
to the count, i.e., application claims 29-55.
