Before MAYER, Chief Judge, LOURIE and SCHALL, Circuit Judges.


MAYER, Chief Judge.

STX, Inc. appeals the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, No. 97-CV-1578, holding on summary judgment that United States Patent No. 5,566,947 ("`947 patent") is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b). Because we agree with the district court that STX has not raised a genuine issue as to any material fact, and co-appellees are entitled to judgment as a matter of law, we affirm.
