Appeal No. 1999-1763
Application No. 08/834,931
Price 2 151 949 A July 31, 1985
(GB)
As stated in the final rejection (Paper No. 5), claim 1
stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated
by Price; claims 2 through 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103(a) as being obvious over Price; and claims 1 through 8
stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as being non-statutory.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper
No. 5, mailed April 13, 1998) and the examiner’s answer (Paper
No. 10, mailed September 29, 1998) for the examiner’s complete
reasoning in support of the rejection, and to the appellant’s
brief (Paper No. 9, filed July 10, 1998) and reply brief
(Paper No. 11, filed October 26, 1998) for the arguments
thereagainst.
