Appeal No. 1999-0391
Application 08/225,229
rejection of claims 1 and 6. Accordingly, since effectively no arguments are presented as to dependent
claim 26, claim 26 will stands or falls with its independent claim 22. 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7)(1995).
In light of the foregoing, the differences between the subject matter recited in claims 22 and 26
and the prior art references are such that the claimed subject matter as a whole would have been
obvious within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 103. Accordingly, we shall sustain the rejection of claims
22 and 26 as being obvious over Runge and Von Kohorn.
CONCLUSION
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 1 and 6 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) over Ditto is
affirmed.
The decision of the examiner rejecting claims 22 and 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Runge
and Von Kohorn is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be
extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
AFFIRMED
