Claim 8 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Hawthorne in view of Ridenour, in view of Donkin, Walker, and Cooper, and further in view of Swiss ‘714 and Yetter. 3We have included the Cooper document in this statement of the rejection since Cooper was discussed by the examiner in the body of the rejection (answer, pages 5 through 7) but was obviously inadvertently omitted from the statement thereof. 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
