Appeal No. 1996-2480
Application 08/163,825
37 CFR § 1.196(b)
A new ground of rejection of claims 50 through 53
under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which the Appellants regard as their invention is entered
under 37 CFR § 1.196(b). Claims 50 through 53 depend on claim
49. Claim 49 sets forth a method of producing weight vectors
and modifying a size of a neural network. However, claims 50
through 53 are setting forth a classification neural network
according to claim 49. We find that claims 50 through 53
fail to particularly
point out and distinctly claim the Appellants' invention under
35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
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),
