Appeal No. 95-2081
Application 07/825,778
Before MEISTER, ABRAMS and FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent
Judges.
FRANKFORT, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's
final rejection of claims 1 through 24, 27 through 34 and
37 through 41. At that time, claims 25 and 26 were objected
to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim and were
indicated to be "allowable if rewritten in independent form
including all of the limitations of the base claim and any
intervening claims" (final rejection, page 8). Claims 35 and
36 were allowed. In the examiner's answer (Paper No. 29), the
examiner entered new grounds of rejection against claims 25,
26, 37 and 39 through 41. In addition, the examiner indicated
that appellant's arguments in the brief were persuasive with
regard to claims 23, 24, 28, 29, 31 and 32. Claims 25, 26 and
39 were subsequently amended by appellant in Paper No. 36 and
this amendment was entered by the examiner (see Paper No. 37).
In light of the foregoing, the current status of the claims in
this application is as follows:
