(Thalimer)
In the final action, claims 1 through 5 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hitchens and
Thalimer. On page 4 of the answer, the Examiner withdraws the
rejection of claims 1 through 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Hitchens and Thalimer. The Examiner set
forth a new ground of rejection of claims 1 through 4 under 35
U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hitchens, Thalimer,
Nigawara and Knoop . Therefore, Claims 1 through 4 stand2
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Hitchens, Thalimer, Nigawara and Knoop and claim 5 stands
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over
Hitchens and Thalimer.
The Appellant filed an amendment to claim 1 in response to the new2
ground of rejection. The Examiner did not enter this amendment. Therefore,
for the purpose of this appeal, this amended claim 1 is not before us for our
consideration.
