Appeal No. 97-0750 Application 08/329,219 Claim 6 stands additionally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as containing subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to enable one skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and/or use the invention. Reference is made to the examiner's answer (Paper No. 7, mailed August 30, 1996) for the examiner's full reasoning in support of the above-noted rejections and to appellant's brief (Paper No. 6, filed July 17, 1996) for appellant's arguments thereagainst. OPINION Our evaluation of the issues raised in this appeal has included a careful assessment of appellant's specification and claims, the applied prior art references and the respective positions advanced by appellant and the examiner. As a consequence of our review, we have come to the conclusion, for the reasons which follow, that the examiner's rejection of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103 will not be sustained. In addition, we will also not sustain the examiner's rejection of claim 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph. 4Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
