Appeal No. 2001-0271 Page 3
Application No. 08/855,474
(2) Claims 1-9 and 12-14 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.1
§ 103(a) as being unpatentable over House in view of
Zielinski.
(3) Claims 15-21 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over House in view of Zielinski and
Spector.
(4) Claims 10 and 11 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as being unpatentable over House in view of Zielinski and
Murphy.
(5) Claim 15 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Spector.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the answer (Paper No. 13) for
the examiner's complete reasoning in support of the rejections
and to the brief (Paper No. 12) for the appellant's arguments
thereagainst.
In the final rejection, claims 15-21 were rejected as unpatentable1
over House in view of Zielinski and as unpatentable over House in view of
Zielinski and Spector. The examiner eliminated this redundancy in the answer.
