Appeal No. 1997-3304 Page 4
Application No. 08/181,936
Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced
by the examiner and the appellants regarding the above-noted
rejection, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper
No. 10, mailed May 31, 1995) for the complete reasoning in
support of the rejection, and to the appellants' brief (Paper
No. 9, filed April 10, 1995) for the arguments thereagainst.
OPINION
In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given
careful consideration to the appellants' specification and
claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the
respective positions articulated by the appellants and the
examiner. As a consequence of our review, we make the
determinations which follow.
The 35 U.S.C. § 103 rejection
We will not sustain the examiner's rejection of
appellants' claims 1 through 14, 17 and 18 under 35 U.S.C. §
103.
