Appeal No. 1997-1636 Page 21
Application No. 08/204,996
For the foregoing reasons, the examiner has not
established a prima facie case of obviousness. Therefore, we
reverse the rejection of claim 14.
We end our consideration of the obviousness of the claims
by noting that the aforementioned affirmances are based only
on the arguments made in the brief. Arguments not raised in
the brief are not before us, are not at issue, and are thus
considered waived.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-13
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed. Her rejection of claim 14
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
