Appeal No. 1998-2328
Application No. 08/560,138
entry temperature of the hot rolling operation (note that the
composition is specified in claim 9). However, hot rolling
entry temperatures are well known in the art as being between
approximately 850 to 1000EF. (see Beaudoin, col. 1, ll. 30-35),
i.e., overlapping those entry temperatures recited in claim 19
on appeal.
Accordingly, the examiner and appellants should consider
these issues upon return of this application to the examiner’s
jurisdiction.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
