Appeal No. 95-0972 Page 4
Application No. 07/650,453
Claims 1 through 19 and 22 through 29 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Successful
Farming, "Dollars from Filter Strips," in view of Organic
Gardening, "Taking Hardwood Cuttings," and the Abstract of
"Nitrogen Fixing Research Reports."
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 21, mailed March 21, 1994), the supplemental examiner's
answer (Paper No. 24, mailed June 9, 1994) and the second
supplemental examiner's answer (Paper No. 26, mailed August
10, 1994) for the examiner's complete reasoning in support of
the rejections, and to the appellant's brief (Paper No. 20,
filed January 24, 1994), reply brief and declarations (Paper
Nos. 22 and 23, filed May 20, 1994) and response to
supplemental answer (Paper No. 25, filed June 24, 1994) for
the appellant's arguments thereagainst.
