Appeal No. 1999-1972 Page 4
Application No. 08/807,780
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper
No. 4, mailed November 25, 1997) and the answer (Paper No. 9,
mailed June 23, 1998) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to the brief (Paper No. 8,
filed May 14, 1998) and supplemental response (Paper No. 13,
filed August 19, 1999) for the appellants' arguments
thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellants' specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellants and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.
The indefiniteness issue
We will not sustain the rejection of claim 11 under 35
U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph.
