Syllabus

<p>Patents; Intebferences; Motion foe Dissolution.</p> <p>Where the junior party to an interference fails to move to dissolve under rule 22 of the Patent Office, but acquiesces in the similarity of the invention and propriety of the interference until he becomes apprehensive of a probably adverse decision on the question of priority, he is not entitled to have the examiner of Interferences or the Examiner in Chief recommend to the Commissioner the dissolution of the interference on the ground of want of right on the part of the senior party to make the claims, unless this want of right under the disclosure of the application is perfectly plain, but under such circumstances the interference will be disposed of by judgment of priority.</p>
