Appeal No. 99-1752
Application 08/632,955
dependent claims 8 and 9 are now objected to but would
otherwise be
allowable if rewritten in independent form. It follows that
only claims 1 through 7 are before us for appellate review.
Appellants’ invention relates to a motion transmitting
device for controlling an internal combustion engine by means
of an accelerator pedal. A further understanding of the
invention can be derived from a reading of exemplary claim 1,
a copy of which appears in the APPENDIX to the brief (Paper
No. 6).
As evidence of anticipation, the examiner has applied the
document specified below:
Tamaki 5,509,396 Apr. 23, 1996
(filed Apr. 12, 1994)
The following rejection is before us for review.
Claims 1 through 7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
2
