        30                        STATEMENT OF CASE                                        
        31        Appellant appeals under 35 U.S.C. § 134 (2002) from a final rejection    
        32   of claims 7 to 15 and 18.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b)        
        33   (2002).                                                                       
        34        Appellant invented a shock absorber having a sliding sleeve which        
        35   moves progressively to close off one of the two flow paths, which in turn     
        36   provide a firm damping (Specification 1 to 3).
