Appeal No. 1997-3959
Application No. 08/183,693
as argued by Appellants at page 33 of the brief. The coating
nozzle 3 of Uchiyama is disclosed to be of any known nozzle of
the voltage excited type, or ultrasonic pressure excited type,
but does not have a structure of the type claimed in claim 81
(see Uchiyama at column 5, lines 29-45).
Rejection of claims 67-71
These claims are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103, as being
unpatentable over Uchiyama in view of Senoo. Each of these
claims depends on claims 65 and 66 and hence contains the
first heating means and second heating means which were
claimed in claim 65. We noted above that Uchiyama does not
disclose or teach the heating means, and Senoo does not cure
that deficiency. Therefore, the rejection of claim 67 through
71 is also not sustained.
In conclusion, we have sustained under 35 U.S.C. § 102
the
rejection of claims 63, 83, 89 and 97; however, we have not
sustained the rejection of claims 52 and 84-86. We have also
sustained under 35 U.S.C. 103 the rejection of claims 54, 60,
83, 89 and 97 over Uchiyama, while we have not sustained the
rejection of claims 52, 53, 58, 59, 65, 66, 72, 73, 81, 84-87,
