Appeal No. 1997-1208
Application 08/077,219
We have carefully considered the subject matter on
appeal, the rejections advanced by the Examiner, the arguments
in support of the rejections and the evidence of obviousness
relied upon by the Examiner as support for the art rejections.
We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into consideration, in
reaching our decision, Appellants’ arguments set forth in the
Briefs along with the Examiner’s rationale in support of the
rejections and arguments in rebuttal set forth in the
Examiner’s Answers.
It is our view, after consideration of the record before
us, that the disclosure in this application describes the
claimed invention in a manner which complies with the
requirements of
35 U.S.C. § 112. We are also of the view that the claims
particularly point out the invention in a manner which
complies with 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph. In addition,
it is our opinion that the evidence relied upon and the level
of skill in the particular art would not have suggested to one
of ordinary skill in the art the obviousness of the invention
