NIES, Circuit Judge.
These appeals are from the judgment in a consolidated Civil Action No. 82-825-N, *1569Jackson Jordan, Inc. v.

We reverse the holding that Patent No. 3,494,297 is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b). This holding depended in part on giving a collateral estoppel effect, with which we disagree, to the decision in Plasser American Corporation v.
