Appeal No. 95-3913
Application 07/910,219
which include a portable hand set telephone that transmits
communication signals to a station set connected to the home
phone jack are well known in the art. We note that Appellants'
claim 8 only requires that the terminal be portable, thus a
portable hand set, a terminal, reads on Appellants' claim 8.
On page 4 of the reply brief, Appellants argue that the
proposed combination does not disclose a press-talk trunk for
receiving press-talk signals and voice signals from the terminals
via the switching system as set forth in claims 14 through 19.
Appellants further argue that this embodiment is shown in Figures
2 and 4.
We note that Appellants' claim 14 recites "a press-talk
trunk coupled to said switching system, for receiving said press-
talk signals and said voice signals from said terminals via said
switching system." Therefore, unlike Appellants claim 1,
Appellants' claim 14 requires that the press-talk trunk receive
the press-talk signals and voice signals from the switching
system. Coviello teaches in Figures 1 and 8 that the press-talk
signals and voice signals are received from the switching system.
Therefore, we fail to find that Coviello and Rasmussen teach or
suggest this limitation and we will not sustain the Examiner's
rejection of claims 14 through 19.
