Appeal No. 1999-1505 Page 4
Application No. 08/638,454
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellant's specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellant and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.
The indefiniteness rejection
We sustain the rejection of claims 12 through 19 under
35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
In the final rejection (pp. 2-3) and the answer (p. 3),
the examiner set forth his rationale as to why claims 12
through 19 were indefinite.
The appellant has not specifically contested this
rejection in the brief or reply brief. Accordingly, we
summarily sustain the rejection of claims 12 through 19 under
35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
