Appeal No. 97-3990
Application 08/531,069
1995 (Paper No. 11) wherein the addition to page 11 (between
lines 12 and 13) states: "[t]he wave-forming guide 18
comprises an upper pressing member 18 and a lower receiving
1
member 18 ." We also observe that "recesses" in the second
2
and third lines from the end of claim 9 have no clear
antecedent basis since both "circumferential" recesses and
"link-portion forming" recesses have been previously set
forth.
In summary:
The rejection of claim 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
reversed.
A new rejection of claim 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, has been made.
This decision contains a new ground of rejection pursuant
to 37 CFR § 1.196(b)(amended effective Dec. 1, 1997, by final
rule notice, 62 Fed. Reg. 53,131, 53,197 (Oct. 10, 1997), 1203
