Appeal No. 1997-3148
Application 08/408,088
Claims 5 through 8, 14, and 15 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hoeberechts in view
of
Van Gorkom. We note that on pages 9 and 10 of the brief the
Appellants argue that neither Hoeberechts nor Van Gorkom
teaches or suggests a relatively high-resistive resistor. We
have found that Hoeberechts does teach a relatively high-
resistive resistor above and, therefore, we will sustain the
Examiner's rejection of these claims as well for the same
reasons as above.
In view of the foregoing, the decision of the
Examiner rejecting claims 12, 13, and 16 through 19 under 35
U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed, and the decision of the Examiner
rejecting claims 5 through 8, 14, and 15 under 35 U.S.C. § 103
is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
con- nection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR §
1.136(a).
AFFIRMED
