Appeal No. 1998-1878 Page 2
Application No. 08/543,734
18 through 20, the only other claims remaining in the
application, are objected to as being dependent upon a
rejected claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in
independent form including all of the limitations of the base
claim and any intervening claims.
We REVERSE.
The subject matter on appeal is directed to a
multifunction single lever control for a lift truck. Claims 6
and 16, the only independent claims, are illustrative of the
subject matter on appeal and are reproduced in an “Appendix”
attached to the brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Habiger 4,036,321 Jul. 19, 1977
Schultz et al. 4,755,100
Jul. 5, 1988
(Schultz)
Claims 6, 7, 16 and 17 stand rejected under 35
U.S.C.
§ 103(a) as being unpatentable over Habiger in view of
Schultz.
