Appeal No. 1996-3738
Application No. 08/004,254
the application, 16 to 20, stand withdrawn from consideration
under 37 CFR 1.142(b) as being directed to a nonelected
invention.
The appealed claims are drawn to a method of making a
speaker cone and surround assembly, and are reproduced in the
appendix of appellants' brief.
The references applied in rejecting the appealed claims
are:
Scott et al. (Scott) 5,220,863 Jun. 22,
1993
(filed May 18, 1992)
Tsuchiya et al. (Tsuchiya) 55-74297 Jun. 4, 19802
(Japanese Kokai)
Rosato et al., Injection Molding Handbook (Van Nostrand
Reinhold, 1986), pp. 183 to 186(Handbook)
Claims 39 to 42, 44 to 48 and 52 to 54 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable over Tsuchiya in view of
the Handbook and Scott.
51 would be objected to, and claims 39 to 42, 44 to 48 and 52
to 54 would be rejected. The rejection with which we are here
concerned is a new ground of rejection made in the examiner's
answer.
2Our understanding of this reference is based on a
translation filed by appellants with their Information
Disclosure Statement (Paper No. 4, filed March 26, 1993).
