              Appeal No. 2006-0593                                                               Page 7                
              Application No. 09/895,611                                                                               


              specification has no bearing on the anticipation and obviousness issues in this appeal.                  
              Accordingly, the examiner’s objection and requirement for deletion of new matter added                   
              to the specification is reviewable by petition under 37 CFR § 1.181 and not by the Board                 
              of Patent Appeals and Interferences.                                                                     
                                                   CONCLUSION                                                          
                     To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 3, 4, 6 and 7 under                   
              35 U.S.C. § 102(b) and 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is AFFIRMED.
