Appeal No. 1997-4318
Application 08/469,8061

Before WARREN, WALTZ and LIEBERMAN, Administrative Patent Judges.
WARREN, Administrative Patent Judge.
Decision on Appeal and Opinion
This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the examiner finally rejecting
claims 13 through 29.2
1 This application is the grandchild of application 07/816,468 (‘468 application) in which a prior merits
panel of this board entered a decision on July 26, 1994 in Appeal No. 93-3107, as noted by appellants
(brief, page 1). The ‘468 application is the child of application 07/516,801 (‘801 application). We find
that the ‘801 application is the grandparent of application 07/888,341 in which the same merits panel
entered a decision on July 26, 1994 in Appeal No. 93-2882 with respect to subject matter that is not as
closely related to the subject matter of the present appeal as that in Appeal No. 93-3107.
2 See the preliminary amendment of September 22, 1994, in parent application 08/310,625 (Paper
No. 4).
