Application No. 08/222,643
examiner's rejection of claim 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 cannot be
sustained.
35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 7 through 12
We do not sustain the rejection of claims 7 through 12 under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Roth in view of
Callison.
With respect to claims 7 through 12, each of which depends
directly or indirectly from independent claim 6, the examiner
determined (answer, p. 5) that
[i]t would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the
art at the time of the invention was made to provide the
aircraft of Roth with pod and landing field elevators as
taught by Callison since it would make for more efficient
handling of passengers and freight at the airport.
Once again, even if Roth was modified as set forth above by
the examiner, the modified device of Roth would still lack the
elements, noted supra with respect to parent claim 6.
Accordingly, the examiner's rejection of claims 7 through 12
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 cannot be sustained.
