Appeal No. 1997-2075 Page 3
Application No. 08/362,362
Claims 9 to 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Vaccari in view of Duley and Fishter.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper
No. 11, mailed May 31, 1996) and the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 16, mailed January 13, 1997) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the appellant's
brief (Paper No. 15, filed November 4, 1996) for the
appellant's arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellant's specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellant and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.
