Appeal No. 1998-0910
Application No. 08/454,596
As perceived by the examiner (answer, page 4), claim 1 is
“unclear as to the limitation imparted by the language ‘above-
ground’ on lines 1, 3 and 4.” We fully comprehend the
examiner’s point of view, as explained in the answer.
Nevertheless, for the reasons set forth, infra, we have
concluded that the language of concern to the examiner does
not render claim 1 indefinite.
