Appeal No. 2004-0627
Application No. 09/766,965
location of region 163a, appellants' "contact region." The
examiner's reasoning, which is technically accurate on its face,
has not been refuted by appellants via a Reply Brief or
otherwise. Consequently, we find that appellants' MOS device, as
presently claimed, is described by Williams within the meaning of
§ 102.
In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's
decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
