Appeal No. 2005-1695
Application No. 09/817,843
On the other hand, since no arguments have been presented to
us on appeal in the principal brief and reply brief as to
independent claim 17 and its dependent claims 18 through 21,
which stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102, this rejection is
sustained. Independent claim 17 does not recite the conductive
foil lamination features with a smooth surface as argued between
appellants and the examiner like independent claim 1 on appeal.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the examiner
rejecting claims 1 through 3 and 17 through 21 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102 is sustained only as to claims 17 through 21, and the
rejection of claims 35 through 37 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
reversed. Accordingly, the decision of the examiner is affirmed-
in-part.
