Appeal No. 2001-1064
Application No. 09/164,069
obviousness. Accordingly, the 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejection of
independent claims 6 and 9, as well as claims 7, 8, and 10-17
dependent thereon, is not sustained.1
1 The copy of the appealed claims attached as an appendix to Appellants’
Brief is incorrect. Claims 10 and 11 are indicated as dependent on claim 9
while these claims as amended in the amendment filed February 14, 2000 (paper
No. 7) indicate a dependence on claim 6. A review of pending claims 6-17
reveals that claims 10 and 11 should properly be dependent on claim 9, not
claim 6. We leave this matter for Appellants and the Examiner to address
accordingly.
