Appeal No. 1999-1056
Application No. 08/525,844
rejection of claims 1, 6 and 15 through 17. Claims 2 through
5, 7 through 14 and 18, the only other claims in the
application, are objected to as being dependent upon a
rejected claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in
independent form including all of the limitations of the base
claim and any intervening claims.
The invention is directed to a vehicle steering control
system. The subject matter before us on appeal is illustrated
by reference to claims 1, 6 and 15 which, along with the other
claims on appeal, have been reproduced in an appendix attached
to the main brief.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Ito et al. (Ito) 4,830,127 May 16,
1989
Yamamoto et al. (Yamamoto) 5,528,497 Jun. 18,
1996
(filed Sep. 16, 1993)
Claims 1, 6 and 15 through 17 stand rejected under
35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Yamamoto in view
Ito.
