Appeal No. 1998-2645 Page 3
Application No. 08/815,747
Claims 1 and 3 to 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
as being unpatentable over Clark.
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. 15,
mailed July 2, 1998) for the examiner's complete reasoning in
support of the rejections, and to the brief and reply brief
for the appellant's arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellant's specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellant and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.
The indefinite rejection
We sustain the rejection of claims 5 to 9 under 35 U.S.C.
