Appeal No. 1997-1669
Application No. 08/185,649
Lorch, Fujitsuka and Natelson or Yamano as applied to claim 14
above, and further in view of Jentzsch.
Claim 21 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Stone in view of Otson, Chlosta ‘733, Smith,
Lorch, Fujitsuka and Natelson or Yamano as applied to claim 13
above, and further in view of Chlosta ‘436.
Rather than attempt to reiterate the examiner’s full
commentary with regard to the above noted rejections and the
conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and appellants
regarding the rejections, we make reference to the final
rejection (Paper No. 46, mailed February 15, 1996) and the
examiner’s answer (Paper No. 51, mailed December 2, 1996 ) for
the reasoning in support of the rejections, and to appellants’
brief (Paper No. 50, received November 4, 1996 ) and reply
brief (Paper No. 52, received February 10, 1997) for the
arguments thereagainst.
