Appeal No. 96-2547
Application 08/101,673
Appellants request reconsideration under 37 CFR §
1.197(a) of our decision rendered on May 26, 1998, affirming
the rejection of claims 1 to 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. In the
light of the most recent amendments to this rule effective
December 1997, we treat this request for reconsideration as a
request for rehearing.
At the outset, we note appellants request only
reconsideration of our affirmance of the rejection of claims 4
and 5. Appellants do not request reconsideration of our
affirmance of the rejection of claims 1 to 3 and 6. As such,
the affirmance of these claims is not contested. Appellants
also state at page 1 of the request that no other
reconsideration is requested at the present time. The above
noted rule does not permit a reconsideration or rehearing to
be requested at any other time. Only one request is
permitted.
That portion of our original opinion relating to the
affirmance of claims 1 to 6 on appeal begins at page 6 through
the end of the earlier decision. More specifically, the
discussion of claims 4 and 5 begins at page 10 where we
