Appeal No. 95-0933 Application 08/032,764 as being anticipated by Bertrand. Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or the Examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answers for the details thereof. We note that the claims that are before us are found in the appendix provided in the supplemental reply2 brief, filed January 13, 1998. OPINION After a careful review of the evidence before us, we do not agree with the Examiner that the claims are anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102 by Bertrand. 2In this supplemental reply brief, Appellants provide the appealed claims in an attached appendix. The Examiner stated in a letter, mailed January 30, 1998, that the supplemental reply brief has been entered and considered but no further response by the Examiner is deemed necessary. We note that the Examiner's communication did not object to these claims. We will take the Examiner's silence as the Examiner's acceptance that these claims are the proper claims for our consideration for this appeal. 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
