Appeal No. 2000-1633 Page 9
Application No. 08/994,159
The decision of the examiner to reject claims 1 to 6, 9,
13, 15 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is also affirmed since the
appellant has not argued separately the patentability of any
particular claim apart from the others, thus allowing claims 1
to 6, 9, 13, 15 and 16 to fall with claim 12 (see In re Young,
927 F.2d 588, 590, 18 USPQ2d 1089, 1091 (Fed. Cir. 1991); In
re Wood, 582 F.2d 638, 642, 199 USPQ 137, 140 (CCPA 1978); and
37 CFR
§§ 1.192(c)(7) and (8)(iv)).
CONCLUSION
To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject
claims 1 to 6, 9, 12, 13, 15 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b)
is affirmed.
