Appeal No. 2001-0737 Page 4
Application No. 08/766,212
Claim 62 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as
being anticipated by Oetiker '004.
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted
rejections, we make reference to the final rejection (Paper
No. 19, mailed December 30, 1999) and the answer (Paper No.
27, mailed October 10, 2000) for the examiner's complete
reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the brief
(Paper No. 26, filed July 28, 2000) for the appellant's
arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellant's specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellant and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.
