Appeal No. 1995-1703
Application 07/897,304
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, as being
based on a
specification which does not provide an adequate written
description of the claimed invention.1
Claims 1, 2, 4 through 15 and 18 through 21 stand
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, as failing
to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject
matter the appellants regard as the invention. 2
Reference is made to the appellants’ main and reply
briefs (Paper Nos. 19 and 21) and to the examiner’s main and
supplemental answers (Paper Nos. 20 and 22) for the respective
positions of the appellants and the examiner with regard to
the merits of these rejections.
1In the restatement of this rejection in the main answer
(Paper No. 20), the examiner inadvertently omitted claims 18
through 20.
2 Here again, the examiner inadvertently omitted claims 18
through 20 from the restatement of this rejection in the main
answer.
