Appeal No. 1998-0256
Application No. 08/395,768
The following rejection is the sole rejection before us
for review.
Claims 28 through 39 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
112, first paragraph, as being based upon a specification
which lacks descriptive support for the claimed invention.
The full text of the examiner’s rejection and response to
the argument presented by appellant appears in the answer
(Paper No. 35), while the complete statement of appellant’s
argument can be found in the brief of December 30, 1996 (Paper
No. 34).
OPINION
In reaching our conclusion on the description requirement
issue raised in this appeal, this panel of the board has
carefully considered appellant’s specification and claim 28, 1
1We direct our attention exclusively to the content of
independent claim 28 since appellant indicates that the claims
stand or fall together (brief, page 6).
