Appeal No. 2000-1787
Application No. 08/646,735
PCMCIA printed circuit board. A basic understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claims 1 and
7, respective copies of which appear in Attachment I accompanying
the main brief (Paper No. 13).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below:
Hargis 4,426,773 Jan. 24, 1984
Sarma et al. 5,258,323 Nov. 2, 1993
(Sarma)
Beers 5,680,936 Oct. 28, 1997
(filed Mar. 14, 1995)
The following rejections are before us for review.
Claim 8 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, as being indefinite.2
Claims 1 through 3 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
as being anticipated by Hargis.
2 The examiner did not list an indefiniteness rejection
under section 10 of the answer, but makes it clear on pages 10
and 11 of the answer that only the final rejection of claim 8 is
maintained as "not fully definite."
