Appeal No. 95-1682
Application 07/853,459
the rejection is based upon a combination
of references, the argument shall explain
why the references, taken as a whole, do
not suggest the claimed subject matter, and
shall include, as may be appropriate, an
explanation of why features disclosed in
one reference may not properly be combined
with features disclosed in another refer-
ence. A general argument that all the
limitations are not described in a single
reference does not satisfy the requirements
of this paragraph.
Thus, 37 CFR § 1.192 provides that this board is not under any
greater burden than the court which is not under any burden to
raise and/or consider such issues.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the Exam-
iner rejecting claims 4, 8, 13, 16 and 20 through 22 under 35
U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed; however, the decision of the Exam-
iner rejecting claims 6, 9, 18 and 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
reversed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
con- nection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a). AFFIRMED-IN-PART
