Appeal No. 1997-2682
Application No. 08/382,937
Accordingly, the rejection of representative independent
claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is sustained. Since, as noted
above, Appellants have grouped claims 1, 2, 6, and 9 as
standing or falling together, claims 2, 6, and 9 fall with
claim 1 in accordance with 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7). Thus, it
follows that the decision of the examiner to reject claims 2,
6, and 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is also sustained.
In conclusion, we have sustained the Examiner’s rejection
of all of the appealed claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Therefore, the Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1, 2, 6,
and 9 is affirmed.
