Appeal No. 94-3399
Application 07/871,374
REJECTION BASED ON 35 U.S.C. § 112, SECOND PARAGRAPH
The examiner rejected claims 1 through 12 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 112, second paragraph, as being indefinite. The examiner
initially urged that certain phrases in claim 1 are
indefinite. See Answer, pages 3 and 4. In so urging, the
examiner either misread the phrases or did not apply the
appropriate standard. Compare Answer, pages 3 and 4 with
claim 1. Note that the definiteness of the claim language
employed must not be analyzed in a vacuum, but always in light
of the teachings of the prior art and of the particular
application
