Appeal No. 1997-3956
Application 08/583,960
(Fed. Cir. 1983).
Appellant's claim 6 recites "said third voltage-dividing
element including one of a capacitor string comprising a
plurality of series-connected capacitors and a resistor string
comprising a plurality series-connected resistors, each
resistor of the resistor string having a high resistance
sufficient to avoid influencing the determined regions of the
second voltage-dividing elements." In the appeal brief on
page 3, Appellant states that the compacitor string as claimed
is shown as C1 to C4 shown in Figure 3 and disclosed on page
5, line 13, in the
Appellant's specification. Appellant further states that the
resistive string comprising a plurality of series-connected
resistors is shown as R1 in Figure 3 and disclosed on page 11,
line 3.
We find that the disclosure as originally filed does not
provide a description of the R1 resistor string having
resistors of this resistor string having a high resistance
sufficient to avoid influencing the determined region of the
second-voltage element as claimed in Appellant's claim 6. We
note that the specification as pointed to by the Appellant on
