Appeal No. 1998-2275 Page 4
Application No. 08/428,253
Claims 20-23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
being unpatentable over Hartog in view of either Korhonen or
Elvidge.
Claims 27, 29 and 30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Hartog in view of Alheid.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the answer (Paper No. 18, 2
mailed July 17, 1997) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to the brief (Paper No. 14,
filed June 13, 1997) and reply brief (Paper No. 19, filed
September 19, 1997) for the appellant's arguments
thereagainst.
OPINION
2The answer does not appear to have been signed by a
primary examiner as required by 37 CFR § 1.193 and Manual of
Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) § 1208.
