                TORCZON, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                        


                                         DECISION ON APPEAL                                                  
                                             INTRODUCTION                                                    
           1                The claims on appeal relate generally to a battery for a portable                
           2    electronic device, where the battery housing does not impede docking of the                  
           3    device to a docking station.  The examiner has rejected claim 22 as                          
           4    anticipated and claims 1-10, 18-21, and 23 as having been obvious.  The                      
           5    appellant (HP) seeks review of the rejections.  We reverse the anticipation
