Appeal No. 98-2413
Application 08/763,549
Claims 11 through 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103 as being unpatentable over Deacon in view of Swain.2
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 rejec-
tions, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper No.
11, mailed January 13, 1998) for the examiner's reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to appellant's brief (Paper No.
9, filed December 29, 1997) for appellant's arguments there-
against.
OPINION
2As noted by the examiner on page 2 of the answer, the
double patenting rejection found on pages 2-3 of the final
rejection has been overcome by the filing of a terminal dis-
claimer.
