Cannon 4,786,136 Nov. 22, 1988
Koht et al. (Koht) 5,090,792 Feb. 25, 1992
(filed May 11,
1990)
The following rejections have been made by the
examiner:
1. Claims 14-30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101
because the invention as disclosed is asserted to be
inoperative and, therefore, lacking in utility.
2. Claims 14-30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, as being based on a disclosure which is not
enabling to make and use the invention and which does not
provide an adequate written description of the invention.
3. Claims 14-30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over the teachings of Koht in view of
D’Auria.
4. Claims 14-30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over the teachings of Koht in view of
Cannon.
