ON BRIEF

Before FLEMING, DIXON, and LEVY, Administrative Patent Judges.
LEVY, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the
examiner's final rejection of claims 1-471, which are all of the
claims pending in this application.
1 An amendment (Paper No. 10, filed July 13, 2002) was filed subsequent
to the final rejection. The copy of the claims accompanying the brief include
the proposed changes. However, there is no indication in the record that the
amendment has been entered by the examiner. Accordingly, the claims before us
on appeal are claims as they stood at the time of the final rejection.
Because the proposed changes to the claims were merely to correct
informalities, this issue should be addressed with the examiner subsequent to
the decision on appeal.
