1Opinion of the Court
LANE, Judge.
This is an appeal from the decision of the Patent and Trademark Office Board of Patent Interferences1 (board) awarding priority of invention to the senior party Quick2 after finding that the junior party Wet-more had not established a prima facie case which would entitle him to an award of priority as required by 37 CFR 1.204(c). This appeal also seeks review of the decision of the board that it could not review the examiner’s decision on a motion to amend the counts of the interference brought under 37 CFR 1.231(a) because such action was not ancillary to priority. We affirm.
