Before WORLEY, Chief Judge, and RICH, MARTIN, and SMITH, Judges, and Judge WILLIAM H. KIRKPATRICK.


RICH, Judge.

This appeal is from the decision of the Board of Patent Interferences awarding priority to Errki A. Laurila, the junior party in interference No. 88,914.

The sole issue is whether Laurila sustained his burden of establishing by a preponderance of the evidence introduction of the conception of his invention into the United States prior to the effective filing date of Tage Emanuel Mortsell, the senior party.1
