Appeal No. 95-4722 Application 07/946,226 The examiner relies on the following references: Wah Lo 4,800,407 Jan. 24, 1989 Hiraoka 4,870,600 Sep. 26, 1989 Travis 5,132,839 July 21, 1992 Claims 1-24 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Wah Lo in view of Travis with respect to claims 1-17 and 21-24, and Hiraoka in view of Travis with respect to claims 18-20. Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for the respective details thereof. OPINION We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the rejections. We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants' arguments set forth in the brief along with the examiner's rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the examiner's answer. 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
