Appeal No. 2002-0629 Page 2
Application No. 08/236,378
BACKGROUND
The appellant’s invention relates to power converters and, more particularly, to a
method of manufacturing a module comprising at least one transformer module. A
copy of the claims under appeal is set forth in the appendix to the appellant’s brief.
The examiner relied upon the following as evidence of obviousness in rejecting
the appealed claims:
Miller 3,474,371 Oct. 21, 1969
Appellant’s admitted prior art at page 6, lines 1-10, and page 12, lines 1-15 of the
instant specification (AAPA)
Claims 4, 16 and 19 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being
unpatentable over Miller in view of AAPA.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and
the appellant regarding the above-noted rejection, we make reference to the answer
(Paper No. 58) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the rejection and to
the brief and reply brief (Paper Nos. 57 and 59) for the appellant’s arguments
thereagainst.
