Appeal No. 1998-0463
Application No. 08/450,849
conductor. An understanding of the invention can be derived
from a reading of exemplary claims 1, 18, 20, and 22,
respective copies of which are appended to the brief filed
July 31, 1997 (Paper
No. 11).
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner has applied the
documents listed below:
Lowenstein et al 5,170,114 Dec. 8,
1992
(Lowenstein '114)
Lowenstein et al 5,365,164 Nov. 15,
1994
(Lowenstein '164)
The following rejection is before us for review.
Claims 1 through 23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Lowenstein '164 in view of
Lowenstein '114.
The full text of the examiner's rejection and response to
the argument presented by appellant appears in Paper Nos. 2
