1973
THE REJECTIONS
Claims 1-7, 19 and 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
112, first and second paragraphs, on the basis that the
claimed invention is not described in such full, clear,
concise and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the
art to make and use the same, and/or for failing to
particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter
which appellant regards as the invention.
Claims 1-7, 19 and 20 also stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(b) as being anticipated by Bardocz.
Rather than attempt to reiterate the examiner’s full
commentary with regard to the above-noted rejections and the
conflicting viewpoints advanced by the examiner and the
appellant regarding the rejections, we make reference to the
Examiner’s Answer (Paper No. 29) and the final rejection
(Paper No. 18), and to the Appellant’s Briefs (Papers No. 28
