Appeal No. 2004-2330

DECISION ON APPEAL
Appellant originally appealed the examiner’s rejection of claims 15-20. On page
2 of the answer (Paper No. 18), the examiner withdrew the rejection of claim 20, which
appellant subsequently amended to place it in independent form (see Paper Nos. 19
and 22). Accordingly, claim 20 now stands allowed and this appeal involves only claims
15-19. No other claims are pending.
We REVERSE.
