Appeal No. 96-1663
Application 08/046,240
mechanically and electrically in one piece of a homogeneous
material" as recited in Appellant's claim 1.
Upon a careful review of Scharlau, we find that when
read as a whole, Scharlau teaches that Figures 1 and 2 show a
multiple short-wave radiator which is made up of a plurality
of individual building blocks. These building blocks must be
connected by suitable contact means such as the contact means
disclosed in Figure 3. Therefore, we find that Scharlau fails
to teach all of the limitations of claim 1, and thereby the
claim is not anticipated by Scharlau.
Claims 2 through 6, 11 through 15 and 19 through 22
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable
over Scharlau in view of Watts. Claims 8 through 10, 16
through 18 and 23 through 25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103 as being unpatentable over Scharlau in view of Watts and
Kuecken. We note
that for these rejections, the Examiner argues that Scharlau
teaches that the feed lines form each dipole antenna to a
common point and at least one dipole arm in each dipole
