Appeal No. 1998-0644
Application 08/637,588
have made but chose not to make in the brief have not been
considered [see 37 CFR
§ 1.192(a)].
The examiner’s rejection takes the position that Pugh
teaches all the features of these claims except for the step
of transmitting a single signal which requests a new call
without sending a request to put the active call on hold. The
examiner cites Barnes as teaching this feature and asserts the
obviousness of automatically placing an active call on hold
when a request for a new call is received [answer, pages 7-
10].
