Appeal No. 1997-1314
Application No. 08/300,684
Admitted Prior Art (APA)
Claims 7 and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
102(b) as being clearly anticipated by Fukuzawa.
Claims 1, 3 through 6, 9, 11 and 12 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over APA in view
of Fukuzawa.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants or
the Examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer
for the details thereof.
OPINION
After a careful review of the evidence before us, we
agree with the Examiner that claims 7 and 10 are anticipated
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) by Fukuzawa. We also agree with the
Examiner that claims 1, 4 through 6, 11 and 12 are properly
rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Thus, we will sustain the
rejection of these claims but we will reverse the rejection of
the remaining claims on appeal (claims 3 and 9) for the
reasons set forth infra.
