Appeal No. 97-2583 Application 08/156,951 We call the examiner’s and the appellants’ attention to claim 16's dependency from claim 14. It appears from the fact that claim 15 is the apparatus claim and that claim 16 might have been intended to depend from claim 15 instead of claim 14. We do not address the issue of an apparatus claim being dependent from a process claim, since that issue has not been raised by the examiner and is not presently before us. REVERSED RICHARD E.
