Appeal No. 96-3618
Application 08/004,598
plurality of transceivers. The transceivers of a cellular
base station connect with portable cellular telephone sets,
they do not connect with other cellular base stations as
recited by claim 1 (or, at least, the Examiner has not
established this fact). Moreover, we do not find the
motivation in Fujii to do what the Examiner proposes.
Accordingly, the rejection of claims 1 and 5 is reversed.
Gillig is considered to disclose the limitations of
claim 46. The only possible difference is the cordless base
station "including two transceivers." One of ordinary skill
in the art would have appreciated that the cordless base
station 180 in Gillig must have two transceivers: one for
transmitting and receiving over the telephone line to the
telephone company and one for transmitting and receiving over
the wireless channel to the handset. Since claim 46 would
have been obvious over Gillig, it would have been obvious over
Gillig and Fujii. In any case, however, Appellant does not
argue the rejection of claim 46. The rejection of claim 46 is
sustained.
7. Claim 7: § 103(a) Gillig and Yorita
