          Application No. 08/950,130                                                  


                                     BACKGROUND                                       
               The appellants' invention relates to an antiskid control               
          system.  A copy of the claims under appeal is set forth in the              
          appendix to the appellants' brief.                                          


               The prior art reference of record relied upon by the                   
          examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:                               
          Cook et al. (Cook)            4,530,058                July 16,             
          1985                                                                        



               Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                 
          being unpatentable over Cook.                                               


               Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced              
          by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted                
          rejection, we make reference to the answer (Paper No. 12,                   
          mailed October 1, 1999) for the examiner's complete reasoning               
          in support of the rejection, and to the brief (Paper No. 11,                
          filed June 28, 1999) and reply brief (Paper No. 13, filed                   
          November 29, 1999) for the appellants' arguments thereagainst.
