Appeal No. 96-2884
Application No. 08/181,997
Grasselli, 713 F.2d 731, 743, 218 USPQ 769, 778 (Fed. Cir. 1983) and In re Lindner, 457
F.2d 506, 508, 173 USPQ 356, 358.
In summary, we affirm the rejections of claims 1, 3-26, 28-40 and reverse the
rejections of claims 2, 27 and 41.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal
may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136 (a).
If there is further prosecution of the subject matter of this application in a
continuation application, the primary examiner should evaluate whether the showing in
Example 2 of the specification raises the question of whether the instant claims are broader
than the enabling disclosure. 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph. See our discussion with
regard to this showing in C.III., supra.
