Appeal No. 96-3106
Application 08/052,015
numerous pages of the disclosure to support that view [Brief,
pages 6 to 7].
The Examiner responds that ". . . pages and line numbers
referenced by Appellants do[es] not provide the proper support
necessary to set out a clear description of or best mode for
carrying out the invention" [Answer, page 5].
We have reviewed the various references made by
Appellants to the disclosure to support their position. We
find that figures 2 and 2A, for example, show the various
electrodes and the various structure members being
interconnected within each subassembly and then to the outside
environment via the terminals 104 and 106. Terminals 104 and
106 correspond to the input and output terminals. Thus, we
conclude that the disclosure does provide a clear written
description of the invention. Therefore,
we reverse the rejection of claim 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first paragraph, for lack of written description.
Next we consider the various rejections of claims 1
through 9, 18 and 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as unpatentable
over Sutrina and Granberg.
