BACKGROUND
The appellant's invention relates to a cartridge for
applying medicament to an eye from a dispenser. A copy of
claims 9 through 15 is attached as Exhibit A to the
appellant's brief.3
No prior art is relied upon by the examiner in the
rejection of the claims under appeal.
Claim 15 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 251.
Claims 9 through 14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 251.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the second Office action
(Paper No. 7, mailed January 30, 1997) and the examiner's
answer (Paper No. 14, mailed February 12, 1998) for the
3Claims 9 through 15 were presented in a preliminary
amendment filed on December 5, 1995. We note that this
amendment has not been clerically entered and that the format
thereof (e.g., lack of underlining) is not appropriate (see
current rule 37 CFR § 1.121(b)).
