United States Federal Circuit

In an interference proceeding appeal from the judgment of the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences canceling claim 1 of a patent pursuant to appellants' request for adverse judgment in light of the Board's decision on the relationship between 35 U.S.C. section 135(b)(2) and 35 U.S.C. section 120, judgment is affirmed where the Board correctly canceled the claim, as the interfering claims of appellants are not barred by 35 U.S.C. section 135(b)(2).
