Appeal No. 1997-3913
Application No. 07/860,386
The examiner relies on the following reference:
Burger et al. (Burger) 5,097,533 Mar. 17,
1992
Claims 1-25 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as
being anticipated by the disclosure of Burger. Additional
rejections of claims 1-25 under 35 U.S.C. §§ 101 and 112 have
been withdrawn by the examiner [answer, page 8].
Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the
examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the
evidence of anticipation relied upon by the examiner as
support for the rejection. We have, likewise, reviewed and
taken into consideration, in reaching our decision, the
appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs along with the
examiner’s rationale in support of the rejection and arguments
in rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.
