Dupuis et al. (Dupuis) 6,338,858 Jan. 15, 2002
Schreiber et al. (Schreiber I) 6,613,338 Sep. 2, 2003
Schreiber et al. (Schreiber II)1 WO 98/17232 Apr. 30, 1998
Claims 1, 3, 5, 7-9 and 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being obvious over the combination of Schreiber II and Dupuis. In addition, claim
4 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over the
combination of Schreiber II and Dupuis as further combined with Yoneyama.
1 Note that Schreiber I is apparently the English equivalent of the Schreiber II reference, see
Examiner’s Answer, page 3,and Schreiber I does claim priority to the Schreiber II reference.
