Appeal No. 1998-2083
Application No. 08/471,584
with Holtkamp and Worthington by the examiner against claims
77 and 80 on appeal. However, we find nothing in Smith which
makes up for the deficiencies of Holtkamp and Worthington
discussed above regarding claims 17 and 78.
Accordingly, we will also not sustain the 35 U.S.C. § 103
rejection of dependent claims 77 and 80.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 78 through 81 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph,
is reversed. The decision of the examiner to reject claims 17
and 75 through 80 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.
