Appeal No. 98-1499
Application No. 08/392,493
Claims 5, 6, 12, 13, 34 and 39 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Takeshita in view
of Kawaharada.
Rather than reiterate the examiner's full statement of
the above-noted rejections and the conflicting viewpoints
advanced by the examiner and appellant regarding those
rejections, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 14, mailed July 29, 1997) for the examiner's reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to appellant’s brief (Paper No.
13, filed July 16, 1997) for appellant’s arguments
thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to appellant’s specification and claims,
to the applied prior art references, and to the respective
positions articulated by appellant and the examiner. As a
consequence of our review, we have made the determinations
which follow.
