Huber and Suhner Surge Protector brochure (Suhner)
Claims 36 through 45 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Suhner in view of Juds.
Reference is made to the Examiner's Answer (Paper No. 20,
mailed July 22, 1996) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to the appellants' Brief (Paper
Nos. 17 and 19, filed February 26, 1996 and June 10, 1996,
respectively) and Reply Brief (Paper No. 21, filed August 26,
1996) for the appellants' arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the claims, the applied
prior
art references, and the respective positions articulated by
the appellants and the examiner. As a consequence of our
review, we will reverse the obviousness rejection of claims 36
through 45.
Independent claims 36, 42, and 45 each recite
An integrated surge protector connector for a
coaxial cable . . . so that the integrated surge
protector connector is directly attached to the
coaxial cable without using a separate coaxial cable
connector between the integrated surge protector
connector and the coaxial cable.
