Appeal No. 95-4372
Application No. 08/043,610
power amplifier and that the third speaker
is connected to receive the output of the
high-pass filter.
It appears to us that some hindsight, gleaned from appellants'
disclosure, has seeped into the examiner's rationale for including a
high-pass filter in the specific manner set forth in instant claim
19. Clearly, the applied references do not suggest that a high-pass
filter should receive, as its input, the audio signal from a power
amplifier and provide its output to a third speaker.
CONCLUSION
We have sustained the rejection of claims 23 through 25
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 but we have not sustained either the rejection
of claims 16 and 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) or the rejections of
claims 16, 17, 19, 21 and 22 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on the
evidence provided by the applied references.
Accordingly, the examiner's decision is affirmed-in-part.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
