Ex parte GREGORY J. RAJALA, PAUL M. NIEMI and DANIEL J. OSHEFSKY
____________
Appeal No. 1998-0853
Application No. 08/381,364
____________
HEARD: October 11, 2000
____________
Before COHEN, NASE, and JENNIFER D. BAHR, Administrative Patent Judges.
BAHR, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's refusal to allow claims 1-10, 30 and
68. Claims 19-29, 31-37, 44-53 and 61-67, the only other claims pending in the application,
stand withdrawn from further consideration under 37 CFR § 1.142(b) as being directed to a
non-elected invention and, thus, are not involved in this appeal.1
1The appellants' indication on page 3 of the brief (Paper No. 14) that claims 19-29, 31-37, 44-53 and 61-67
stand rejected and are involved in this appeal is in error.
