Appeal No. 1996-4030
Application 08/104,462
Claims 1 through 4 and 13 stand rejected under 35
U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Huttenlocher and
Horaud. Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellant or
the Examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer
for details thereof.
OPINION
After a careful review of the evidence before us, we
agree with the Examiner that claims 1 through 4 are properly
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. However, we do not agree with
the Examiner that claim 13 is properly rejected under 35
U.S.C.
§ 103. Thus, we will sustain the rejection of claims 1
through 4 but we will reverse the rejection of claim 13 on
appeal for the reasons set forth infra.
At the outset, we note that Appellant states on page
4 of the brief that claims 1, 3 and 4 stand or fall together
as a group and claims 2 and 13 stand separately. We note that
Appellant argues all of the claims consistent with the above
