          Appeal No. 1998-1259                                                        
          Application No. 08/264,817                                                  

          obviousness of the invention set forth.  Accordingly, we                    
          affirm the stated rejection of claims 1-8 and 11-31 under 35                
          U.S.C.                                                                      
          § 103.                                                                      


               It is our view, with respect to claims 9-10, after                     
          consideration of the record before us, that the evidence                    
          relied upon and the level of skill in the particular art would              
          not have suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art the                  
          obviousness of the invention.  Accordingly, we reverse the                  
          rejection of claims 9-10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                             


               The disclosed invention generally pertains to wireless                 
          communication devices having alert generators.  Specifically,               
          a wireless communications device is disclosed which generates               
          a particular tactile alert pattern as one of a plurality of                 
          distinctive tactile alert patterns when a particular                        
          communications signal is received.                                          

               With respect to claims 1-5, 7, 8 and 13-31, only claim 1               


                                          6
