Appeal No. 96-3618
Application 08/004,598
We generally adopt the Examiner's reasons, but note that
the "telephone instrument" at "a third location" is better
read on the telephones known to be attached to the landlines
of the telephone company phone system (TELCO) in Gillig, but
not expressly shown in figure 1, rather than on the community
cordless base station 188 as found by the Examiner (EA31).
In Gillig, the TELCO corresponds to the claimed "public
telephone system" (shown as the central telephone exchange CTE
in Appellant's figure 17). The cordless base station 180 and
antenna 182 in home or office 181 correspond to the claimed
"first transceiver and a first antenna" at "a first location"
(shown as the dual function base transmitter station DFBSz at
location Z in Appellant's figure 17). The cellular base
station 190 and antennas 192, 194 correspond to the claimed
"second transceiver and a second antenna" at "a second
location" (shown as the cellular base station CBSy and
cellular antenna CAy in Appellant's figure 17). The TELCO is
known to those of ordinary skill in the art (indeed, to an
average person) to have other telephones attached to the
system than the ones shown in figure 1 of Gillig, which
telephones correspond to the claimed "telephone instrument" at
