answer a call when he is too far from the handset to read a
visual indication of caller-ID data.
In summary, the combined teachings of the references
would have suggested storing a voice message in memory in a
base unit of a cordless telephone and then transmitting the
message to a handset unit, also in the cordless telephone,
where the voice message is generated in a loudspeaker in the
handset unit. For the foregoing reasons, the examiner has
established a prima facie case of obviousness. Therefore, we
affirm the rejection of claims 4 and 11.
We end our consideration of the obviousness of the claims
by noting that the aforementioned affirmance is based only on
the arguments made in the brief. Arguments not raised in the
brief are not before us, are not at issue, and are thus
considered waived.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the examiner’s rejection of claims 4 and 11
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
