Appeal No. 95-3720
Application 08/088,146
Nishise et al. (Nishise) 5,196,893 Mar. 23, 1993
Claims 1, 2, 9 and 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(b) as being anticipated by the disclosure of Usui. Claims
3-8, 10, 14 and 15 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As
evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Usui in view of
Nishise with respect to claims 3 and 4, Usui in view of Uno with
respect to claims 5, 8 and 10, Usui in view of Tomita with
respect to claims 6 and 10, Usui in view of Uno and Tomita with
respect to claim 7, and Usui in view of Takizawa with respect to
claims 14 and 15.
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 anticipation and 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.
