Appeal No. 95-3789 Page 4
Application No. 08/047,047
Claims 17 and 21 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Collette in view of Cook, Agrawal and
Miller.3
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by
the examiner and the appellants regarding the § 103 rejections,
we make reference to the examiner's answer and the communication
regarding the reply brief (Paper No. 24, mailed June 12, 1995)
for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the
rejections, and to the appellants' brief (Paper No. 21, filed
November 30, 1994) and reply brief (Paper No. 23, filed May 22,
1995) for the appellants' arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellants' specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellants and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.
