Appeal No. 2003-1401
Application No. 08/814,401

HEARD: OCTOBER 22, 2003

Before COHEN, McQUADE, and NASE, Administrative Patent Judges.
COHEN, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This appeal is taken from the final rejection (Paper No. 20)
of claims 1 through 9 and 21 through 30 (Notice of Appeal; Paper
No. 23). However, while the cover sheet of the final rejection
indicates that claim 9 is under rejection, no rejection of claim
9 is set forth in the final rejection. With no rejection of
claim 9 having been made by the examiner, that claim appears to
be allowable. Claim 27 is indicated in the final rejection as
being allowed. Claims 23 and 30 also appear to be allowable in
light of the withdrawal of a rejection thereof (footnote 1).
