Appeal No. 98-3293
Application 08/650,417
As noted above, appellants have grouped all of the claims on appeal in a single grouping, thus
allowing dependent claims 2 through 6, 8 and 9 to fall with claim 1. It follows from this that the
examiner’s rejection of claims 4 through 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on McSherry and Murphy is
likewise sustained.
In view of the foregoing, the examiner's decision rejecting claims 1 through 3, 8 and 9 under 35
U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by McSherry is affirmed, as is the examiner’s decision rejecting
claims 4 through 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
