OPINION
We have considered the rejections advanced by the
Examiner and the supporting arguments. We have, likewise,
reviewed Appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs.
We affirm in part.
In our analysis, we are guided by the precedence of our
reviewing court that the limitations from the disclosure are
not to be imported into the claims. In re Lundberg, 244 F.2d
543, 113 USPQ 530 (CCPA 1957); In re Queener, 796 F.2d 461, 230
3These claims remain on appeal after Appellants have
withdrawn the appeal of the other claims listed on page 5 of
the Examiner's answer.
4Claims 47-51 listed on page 6 of the Examiner's answer
under this rejection have been withdrawn by Appellants from
appeal.
5A reply brief was filed on October 24, 1997, and was
entered by the Examiner on April 3, 2000.
