Appeal No. 2000-0210 Page 18
Application No. 08/893,906
The appellants have grouped claims 6 to 8 as standing or
falling together. Thereby, in accordance with 37 CFR4
§ 1.192(c)(7), claims 7 and 8 fall with claim 6. Thus, it
follows that the decision of the examiner to reject claims 7
and 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is also affirmed.
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claim 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is reversed;
the decision of the examiner to reject claim 9 under 35 U.S.C.
§ 102(b) is reversed; and the decision of the examiner to
reject claims 6 to 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed.
