Appeal No. 97-2736
Application 08/067,221
Rather than reiterate the examiner's full statement of
the above-noted rejections and the conflicting viewpoints
advanced by the examiner and appellants regarding those
rejections, we make
reference to the examiner's answer (Paper No. 17, mailed
December 12, 1995) for the examiner's reasoning in support of
the rejections, and to appellants’ corrected brief (Paper No.
16, filed October 16, 1995) for appellants’ arguments
thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to appellants’ specification and claims,
to the applied prior art references, and to the respective
positions articulated by appellants and the examiner. As a
consequence of our review, we have made the determinations
which follow.
