Appeal No. 98-3299
Application 08/335,331
to the issue of “undue multiplicity”, it is well established
that an applicant has the choice of deciding as to the number
of claims so long as they are consistent with the disclosure
and the requisite filing fees are paid. We, therefore,
reverse the Examiner’s rejection of claims 1 through 4 and 6
through 93 under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112.
Rejections Under First Paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112
With respect to the first paragraph § 112 rejection, we
again find ourselves in agreement with the Appellants’s
position.
We first consider Examiner’s position as to the
“insufficiently disclosed” terms of “multi-dimensional
parametric correlation processing unit”, “collateral
information” and “knowledge-based position information”
[answer, pages 3 to 4], and the Appellants’ corresponding
arguments [brief, pages 16, 17 and 20]. We have also reviewed
the specification for these terms, namely pages 12 through 16.
