Before WINTERS, ROBINSON, and GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judges.
GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s
final rejection of claims 1 -8. Claim 9, the other pending claim in the application,1
is not subject to any outstanding rejection.
1 Originally, the application contained claims 1-24, all of which were rejected by the examiner. An
amendment after the final rejection, canceling claims 10-24, was received on September 4, 1996,
and approved for entry by the examiner. The amendment, however, was never entered. Upon
return of this case, the examiner should see to it that this amendment is properly entered.
