AND INTERFERENCES
____________
Ex parte TONY CHIU and ROBERT ALVEREZ1
____________
Appeal No. 1998-0372
Application No. 08/533,585
____________
ON BRIEF
____________
Before KRASS, FLEMING, and BLANKENSHIP, Administrative Patent Judges.
BLANKENSHIP, 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 21 and 23-28, all the claims remaining in the application.
We affirm-in-part.
We note that the USPTO database and certain papers filed by appellants spell the co-inventor’s1
name as “Alverez.” However, the original declaration (filed August 30, 1994) spells the name as “Alvarez.”
The correct spelling should be confirmed before allowing the application to pass to issue.
