Appeal No. 1998-2723
Application No. 08/571,679
locator system in which each of the individual communication
stations 40 must communicate directly with the master station
30 (column 4, lines 56 through 60; column 5, lines 57 and 58;
column 7, lines 36 through 39). If a signal from one
communication station is routed to another communication
station, then the locator system will not be able to locate
the exact position of transponder 50. For this reason, the 35
U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 30 through 34 and 37 is
reversed.
The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection of claims 35 and 36 is
reversed because the mobile cellular telecommunications
teachings of Lee do not cure the noted shortcoming in the
combined teachings of the references.
DECISION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 30 through
7
