Appeal No. 1997-2859
Application 08/340,676
17 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Hilton and
Kraatz.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellants and the
Examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for 2 3
the respective details thereof.
OPINION
We have considered the rejections advanced by the
Examiner and the supporting arguments. We have, likewise,
reviewed the Appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs.
We affirm.
In our analysis, we are guided by the precedence of our
reviewing court that the limitations from the disclosure are
not to be imported into the claims. In re Lundberg, 244 F.2d
2A reply brief was filed as paper no. 18 and its entry
approved without any further response by the Examiner [paper
no. 19].
3We note that the Examiner’s answer does not have page
numbers. For our convenience, we have added the page numbers.
