`

`
`
`Your Honor:
`
`
`
`Interference No. 105,995
`
`Pursuant to Part D of the Declaration of Interference (Paper No. 1), 37 C.F.R. §§ 41.120 and
`
`41.204(b), and ¶¶ 104.2.1, 120, and 204 of the Standing Order (Paper No. 2), Senior Party Levin
`
`identifies below the motions that it presently intends to file.
`
`PROPOSED MOTIONS
`
`1.
`
`Motion for judgment that claims 1-15 of Junior Party Pastorio are unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, because the limitation “where the oxidising agent is
`
`selected from the group comprising benzoyl peroxides, sodium peroxides, t-butyl
`
`peroxides and/or hydrogen peroxide” recited by claim 1 is an improper Markush group
`
`which renders claim 1 and claims depending from claim 1 indefinite.
`
`2.
`
`Motion for judgment that claims 4-5 of Junior Party Pastorio are unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 112, fourth paragraph, for failing to further limit the subject matter of the claims
`
`from which they depend. The limitations recited by claims 4-5 are necessarily present in
`
`claim 1.
`
`3.
`
`Motion for judgment that claims 13-15 of Junior Party Pastorio are unpatentable to
`
`Pastorio under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(e)/103(a) as anticipated by or obvious over Senior Party
`
`Levin’s PCT International Application Publication No. WO2012/007938, published
`
`January 19, 2012 (Levin et al.). Claims 13-15 of Junior Party Pastorio are anticipated by
`
`or obvious over Senior Party Levin’s PCT International Application Publication No.

`
`BS2010A0118, filed July 7, 2010, lacks written description of an acid catalyst required
`
`by these claims.

`

`
`Contingent motion (contingent on the denial of Motion 2) for judgment that claims 1-15
`
`of Junior Party Pastorio are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph,
`
`because the limitation “in the presence of dichloroacetic acid and of an oxidising agent”
`
`recited by claim 1 renders claim 1 and claims depending from claim 1 indefinite if “in the
`
`presence of” means something more than “in situ.”
`
`8.
`
`Contingent motion (contingent on the denial of Motion 2) for judgment that claims 1-4
`
`and 6-15 of Junior Party Pastorio are unpatentable to Pastorio under 35 U.S.C. §§
`
`102(e)/103(a) as anticipated by or obvious over Senior Party Levin’s PCT International
`
`Application Publication No. WO2012/007938, published January 19, 2012. (Levin et al.).
`
`Claims 1-4 and 6-15 of Junior Party Pastorio are anticipated by or obvious over Senior
`
`Party Levin’s PCT International Application Publication No. WO2012/007938 because

`Junior Party Pastorio’s Italian priority application BS2010A0118, filed July 7, 2010, does
`
`not provide written description for the full scope of a process in which “in the presence of
`
`dichloroacetic acid and of an oxidising agent” means something more than “in situ.”
