ORDER GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT

HINKLE, District Judge.

This is a patent infringement action. The undisputed evidence establishes that the plaintiff was not the first inventor of the system at issue; instead, a prior inventor made the system in this country and had not abandoned, suppressed or concealed it, thus rendering the patent invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102(g). I grant defendants' motion for summary judgment on this basis.
