1Opinion of the Court
WORLEY, Chief Judge.
The issue here is whether Wolter, Ernstberger and Ritter (Wolter) have proved beyond a reasonable doubt1 that there was a successful reduction to practice of their invention before the July 18, 1961 filing date of patent No. 3,101,505 of the senior party Belicka, Kenny and Longin (Belicka). The Board of Patent Interferences found that Wolter had not discharged his burden of proof and awarded priority to Belicka. We find nothing from our review of the record to support appellants’ allegation of reversible error and affirm the board’s decision.
