Appeal No. 1999-1786
Application No. 08/821,738
Claim 6 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second
paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly
point
out and distinctly claim the subject matter which appellant
regards as the invention.
Claims 1-8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Scharboneau in view of Fisher.
Rather than attempt to reiterate the examiner’s full
commentary with regard to the above noted rejections and
conflicting view points advanced by the examiner and appellant
regarding the rejections, we make reference to the final
rejection (Paper No. 8, mailed June 5, 1998) and the
examiner’s answer (Paper No. 11, mailed February 1, 1999) for
the reasoning in support of the rejections, and to appellant’s
brief (Paper No. 10, mailed January 4, 1999) for the arguments
thereagainst.
