Appeal No. 1997-3146
Application 08/558,670
output stage having at least two parallel output branches,
where each of said at least two parallel output branches
includes a first transistor. We note that Appellants do not
recite the phrase "in parallel" in Appellants' claim 1.
Similarly, we note that the remaining claims fail to recite
the phrase "in parallel." Since the claims before us do not
recite the phrase "in parallel," we will not
address whether the phrase is indefinite under 35 U.S.C. §
112, second paragraph, since the matter is not before us for
our consideration in the claims.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the
Examiner rejecting claims 1 through 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 112,
first and second paragraphs, is reversed.
REVERSED
