Ex parte JEAN-PIERRE GREGOIRE and MICHEL BONNION
____________
Appeal No. 1998-2927
Application No. 07/584,667

ON BRIEF
____________
Before FRANKFORT, McQUADE, and NASE, Administrative Patent
Judges.
NASE, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final
rejection of claims 1 to 4. Claims 5 to 22 have been allowed.
No claim has been canceled.1
1We find the appellants' indication on page 1 of the
brief (Paper No. 38, filed August 11, 1997) that, to the best
of their knowledge and belief, there are no related appeals
which would have a bearing on this appeal to be clearly in
error since the rejection before us in this appeal was first
made as a new ground of rejection under 37 CFR § 1.196(b) by
another panel of the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences
in their February 23, 1996 DECISION ON APPEAL (Paper No. 29).
