REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
Appellant requests that we reconsider and modify our
decision dated March 17, 1998 to indicate that the rejection
of claim 11 is reversed.
Appellant now presents new arguments that the references
of record, whether considered alone or in combination, fail to
either teach or suggest the invention as claimed by Appellant.
However, these new arguments were not presented in the
Appellant's brief nor has Appellant addressed why these
arguments were not presented earlier in the brief.
37 CFR § 1.192 (a) as amended at 58 Fed. Reg. 53196,
October 10, 1997, which was controlling at the time of
Appellant's filing of the reconsideration, states as follows:
Any arguments or authorities not included in the
brief will be refused consideration by the Board of
Patent Appeals and Interferences, unless good cause
is shown.
Appellant has not shown good cause as to why these
arguments were not presented earlier in the brief. Therefore,
we will refuse to consider these arguments in the request for
reconsideration.
