Appeal No. 2000-1612
Application 08/938,844
and 7 “stand or fall together,” it follows that the examiner’s
rejection of claims 2 and 3 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) will also
be sustained.
To summarize, we have refused to sustain the examiner’s
rejection of claim 7 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) based on
Bourassa, but have sustained the rejection of claims 2, 3 and
7 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) based on the collective
teachings of Bourassa and Thompson. Since one rejection of
each of the claims before us on appeal has been sustained, the
examiner’s decision is affirmed.
