Appeal No. 1999-1057
Application No. 08/848,719
The full text of the examiner's rejections and response
to the argument presented by appellant appears in the main
answer (Paper No. 10), while the complete statement of
appellant's argument can be found in the brief (Paper No. 9).
OPINION
This panel of the board has carefully considered
appellant's specification and claims, the declaration of 3
Roland Martin dated February 27, 1998, and the respective
viewpoints of appellant and the examiner. As a consequence of
our review, we make the determination which follows.
3This appeal was taken from the final rejection of claim
12, inter alia; the summary cover sheet of the final rejection
(Paper No. 7) indicates that claim 12 was rejected. However,
the rejections set forth in the final rejection (as well the
rejections set forth in the first office action of November
19, 1997, for that matter) do not include claim 12. Thus, a
rejection of claim 12 is not before us. The status of claim
12 should be clarified by the examiner.
