Appeal No. 2000-0076
Application 08/970,231
on appeal appears to be the result of an agreement between the
appellants and the examiner that the rejection would be
overcome by certain amendments submitted subsequent to final
rejection (see the advisory action mailed September 22, 1998,
Paper No. 27; page 5 in the main brief; and page 2 in the
answer). The examiner, however, has refused to enter the
amendments for unrelated reasons. Thus, the rejection remains
in effect, and we shall summarily sustain it since the
appellants have not challenged its merits.
II. The 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) rejections of claims 1 through 44
Claims 1, 27 and 39, the three independent claims on
appeal, recite a manufacturing facility for constructing
standard size dwellings comprising, inter alia, at least two
subassembly production lines for constructing predetermined
subassemblies for the standard size dwelling, a dwelling
assembly alley for assembling a partially assembled standard
size dwelling therein, and hoisting means operational in the
at least two subassembly production lines for transporting the
predetermined subassemblies to the dwelling assembly alley for
incorporation/installation into a partially assembled standard
size dwelling.
