          Application No. 08/400,637                                                  


          following limitations: “automatically terminating a path of                 
          the three way call ....”                                                    


               The examiner fails to show that the original                           
          specification, which includes the original claims, does not                 
          describe the limitations.  To the contrary, the original                    
          specification discloses an “automatic handoff operation ....”               
          (Spec. at 15.)  The automatic handoff operation is explained                
          as automatically generating a three way call and automatically              
          terminating a cellular path of the three way call so that "a                
          call in process is handed off from the cellular telephone                   
          system 103 to the cordless telephone system when the PCC 101                
          relocates from the cellular telephone system 103 to the                     
          cordless telephone system."  (Id. at 17.)                                   


               To generate a three way call automatically, "the PCC 101               
          receives the landline telephone number of the cordless base                 
          station 115 at block 715." (Id. at 16.)  Then, "a call in                   
          process between the PCC 101 operating in a cellular telephone               
          system 103 and a calling party is handed off from the cellular              
          telephone system 103 to the cordless telephone system by
