1Opinion of the Court

GOODRICH, Circuit Judge.

This is a proceeding to determine priority between two claimants for a patent. It is brought under section 146 of the Patent Act of 1952, 35 U.S.C.A. § 146 and is what used to be called a “4915 proceeding.” The senior applicant won in the patent office and in the district court 1 and R.C.A., the junior applicant, brings the case here on appeal.

Two points are involved. The first has to do with jurisdiction; the second, the correctness of the conclusion as to priority reached in the patent office and the district court. We dispose of the jurisdiction matter first.
