Appeal No. 1999-2849
Application No. 08/690,966
an other party side respectively, and an IC card operation
unit for reading and writing electronic information between
two IC cards inserted in said two insertion slots in mutually
different depths" as recited in claims 1 through 7, 9 through
11 and 13.
In regard to the rejections of claims 8 and 12 which
depend on claim 1, we note that the Examiner relies on Storck
for the above limitation. Therefore, we will not sustain the
Examiner's rejection of these claims for the above reasons.
In regard to the rejection of claim 20, we note that
claim 20 recites:
a pocket-size information transfer apparatus
including two insertion slots provided in an owner
side and an other party side respectively, and an IC
card operation unit for reading and writing
electronic information between two IC cards inserted
into said two insertion slots in mutually different
depths.
The Examiner relies on Storck for this limitation of two
insertion slots in mutually different depths. We fail to find
that Storck teaches or suggests the claimed limitation.
