Appeal No. 1998-2849 Page 6
Application No. 08/584,158
claims under appeal are not indefinite for the reasons set
forth by the examiner in his specific objections set forth in
the final rejection in the parent application (Paper No. 8).
In that regard, it is our opinion that the metes and bounds of
the terms used in the claims on appeal (e.g., emotional
distance, behavior type category, etc.) would be known with a
reasonable degree of precision and particularity in view of
the teachings of the originally filed application disclosure
as it would be interpreted by one possessing the ordinary
level of skill in the pertinent art. Accordingly, the
decision of the examiner to reject claims 35 through 74 under
35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, is reversed.
