said network signal.
Because we find Pombo discloses all that is claimed, we conclude the
Examiner has met the burden of presenting a prima facie case of anticipation
and that Appellant has failed to show error in the Examiner’s prima facie
case. Accordingly, we will sustain the Examiner’s rejection of
representative claim 1 as being anticipated by Pombo.
Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 41.37(c)(1)(vii), we have decided the appeal
with respect to the remaining claims in this group on the basis of the selected
claim alone. Therefore, we will sustain the Examiner’s rejection of claims
2-3, 7-9, and 13-15 as being anticipated by Pombo for the same reasons
discussed supra with respect to representative claim 1.
Claims 4, 5, 10, 11, 16, and 17
We note that Appellant has presented no arguments directed to the
combinability of Pombo and Croft with each other. Accordingly, Appellant
has waived any such arguments, and the combinability of the references will
not be addressed here.
Appellant argues that Croft does not overcome the deficiencies of
Pombo, in that Croft is silent with respect to the handling of transient or
intermittent signals, as claimed (App. Br. 8).
