Appeal No. 1998-2119
Application No. 08/343,965
Thus, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-9,
13-15 and 17 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) is reversed. In
addition, this application is REMANDED back to the examiner
since claim 4, which depends from independent claim 1 appears
to be a duplicate of independent claim 13. Therefore, the
examiner should consider this issue and take appropriate
action pursuant to M.P.E.P. § 706.03(k) and 37 CFR § 1.75.
