Appeal No. 1998-1343 Application No. 08/154,695 rejection of claim 9 relates to the data output control signal being generated by the CPU (see Brief, page 9). However, no such limitation appears in claim 9. A data output control signal need only be generated, but not by any particular element. Consequently, appellant's argument for claim 9 is not persuasive. Therefore, we will affirm the rejection of claim 9. CONCLUSION The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 6, 7,10, and 11 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)is reversed. The decision of the examiner rejecting claim 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)is affirmed. 9Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
