Appeal No. 1996-3167 Page 12
Application No. 07/974,834
made by the examiner of the claims on appeal (answer, pp. 3-
11) and (2) the appellants' argument against this rejection
(brief, pp. 14-21, and reply brief, pp. 1-6). From this
review, we are convinced that the claims under appeal meet the
written description of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112,
since the original disclosure establishes that the inventors
had possession, as of the filing date of the application
relied on, of the specific subject matter set forth in the
claims under appeal for the reasons set forth by the
appellants.
For the reasons set forth above, the decision of the
examiner to reject claims 4, 6, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28 to 31, 34,
35 and 41 to 52 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is
reversed.
The obviousness rejections
We will not sustain any of the rejections of claims 4, 6,
7, 13, 14, 26, 28 to 31, 34, 35 and 41 to 52 under 35 U.S.C. §
103.
