SHIRODKAR ______________ Appeal No. 95-0706 Application 07/820,4611 _______________ ON BRIEF _______________ Before GARRIS, WEIFFENBACH and WARREN, Administrative Patent Judges. WARREN, Administrative Patent Judge. Decision on Appeal and Opinion This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the decision of the examiner finally rejecting claims 15, 17 through 22, 24 through 32, 35, 36 and 43 through 48. 2 Claims 1, 8, 16, 23, 33, 34 and 37 through 42 are also of record and have been withdrawn from consideration by the examiner as being directed to a nonelected invention. We have carefully considered the record before us, and based thereon, find that we cannot sustain either of the grounds of rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (answer, Paper No. 15, pages 3-5). 1 Application for patent filed January 14, 1992. 2 See, e.g., the amendment of June 5, 1992 (Paper No. 4). - 1 -Page: 1 2 3 4 5 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
